Land based Windchargers

When you need power at a remote site the Furlmatic model Windchargers provide a reliable and cost effective solution. Power generated can be used for off grid homes, remote telecommunications, monitoring, and electric fences, avoiding the costly and inconvenient installation of grid power. 

The Furlmatic Windchargers protect themselves by reducing the rotational speed of the turbine in extremely high winds in a design that continues to stand the test of time. For temporary installations and land installations the smaller wind turbines can be used to keep batteries topped up.

Wind Power FAQs

What is a windcharger?

A windcharger, also known as a wind turbine or wind generator, is a device that converts wind energy into electrical energy. 

It consists of a rotor with blades that capture the kinetic energy of the wind. As the wind blows, it turns the blades, which spin a shaft connected to an electrical generator. This process generates electricity, which can be used to power homes, businesses, and in some cases vehicles.

Wind chargers are a key component of renewable energy systems, providing a clean and sustainable source of electricity. They are often used in areas with consistent wind patterns and can be part of both small-scale and large-scale energy solutions.

How much can I save by using wind energy?

The savings from using a windcharger depend on several factors, including wind resources, turbine size, and electricity consumption. 

More wind equals more energy, and larger turbines generate more power. 

Higher consumption increases potential savings, and higher electricity prices lead to greater savings.

What are the best windchargers that Marlec supplies?

Wind power can be used for all sorts of purposes. We find that the majority of people use wind energy for boats, wind power for remote locations, and wind energy for vehicles like caravans.
