DOMUS 500 W 6-Blade Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

The DOMUS 500 W 6-blade is the lowest-power 6-blade DOMUS version, with the lowest starting wind speed of the four compared: maximum power 500 W, rated power 300 W, starting at 1.2 m/s. Its 6-blade rotor catches more wind in the same volume than the 3-blade version. It suits households and smaller projects where 300 W of rated power is enough and it matters that the turbine starts turning as early as possible.

Technical specifications

How the DOMUS 500 W 6-blade differs from the other DOMUS versions

The four versions compared here share the same hybrid Darrieus/Savonius rotor, 80 × 80 × 130 cm dimensions, 12 kg weight and noise below 40 dB. They differ only in blades and power, and with them the starting wind speed.

Choose the DOMUS 500 W 6-blade if 300 W of rated power is enough and the lowest starting threshold, 1.2 m/s, matters most. If 300 W is too little, the DOMUS 750 W 6-blade has 500 W of rated power (starting at 1.4 m/s) and the DOMUS 1 kW 6-blade has 750 W (starting at 1.6 m/s). The standard 3-blade DOMUS 1 kW 3-blade starts only at 3.2 m/s.

Vertical axis wind turbine for home and small business: what is the DOMUS 500 W 6-blade for?

This is the lowest-power 6-blade DOMUS: 300 W rated power and a starting wind speed of 1.2 m/s, the lowest of the four versions compared here. It fits cases where little energy is needed and the wind at the site may be weak.

With batteries (Stand Alone system) it is meant for storing energy, and connected to the grid (Grid Connected system) for reducing the electricity bill. The manufacturer states that the turbine can be installed within minutes without permission from local or national authorities.

PLUS, Stand Alone, Grid Connected and Full: what is the difference?

This model comes in four configurations, and batteries are not included in any of them.

• PLUS – rotor M28 + generator M12 + rectifier M36 + mast M40 (85 cm)
• Stand Alone – PLUS + controller M26 + off-grid inverter M22 (battery not included)
• Grid Connected – PLUS + controller M26 + grid-tie inverter M34 (battery not included)
• Full – PLUS + controller M26 + M22 + M34 (batteries not included)

Wind turbine for 12 V and 24 V batteries: which system does it suit?

The specification lists 12/24 V DC battery systems, while the generator output is three-phase AC up to 36 V. Batteries are not part of the package, so they have to be chosen separately. We check which batteries and inverters work together before you order.

What wind does the mast have to withstand?

When choosing, people usually look at power, and the mast stays in the background. According to the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service:

“The highest wind speed recorded in Lithuania’s observation history was 40 m/s.”

So it matters not only at what wind speed the turbine starts, but also how the mast is anchored.

We handle it for you. We select the equipment for your site, deliver anywhere in Lithuania, install and connect it.
