Choose this version if you need the 6-blade rotor (6 vertical Darrieus and 12 horizontal Savonius blades). Power, start-up wind speed, dimensions (120 × 120 × 190 cm) and weight (32 kg) are the same as for the 3-blade EOLO 1 kW. If you need more power, look at the EOLO 2 kW (rated 1660 W, start-up wind speed 2.4 m/s) or the EOLO 3 kW (2200 W, 2.9 m/s).

Small wind turbine for home: who is the EOLO 1 kW vertical turbine for?

Households: to reduce electricity bills (grid-connected system)
Off-grid systems: to store energy in batteries
Business and industry: as an additional source of energy

The power and start-up wind speed (890 W; 1.9 m/s) are the same as for the 3-blade version; what differs is the rotor configuration: 6 vertical Darrieus and 12 horizontal Savonius blades.

Wind turbine for 12 V, 24 V or 48 V batteries: which voltage suits the EOLO 1 kW?

The EOLO 1 kW delivers three-phase AC of up to 48 V and is designed for 12, 24 or 48 V DC battery systems. Which battery voltage to choose depends on the whole system at your site, so we decide it together with the choice of controller and inverter.

How to connect a wind turbine: configurations

The EOLO 1 kW can be supplied in three configurations:

PLUS: turbine M39 + generator M32 + rectifier M37 + mast M40 (130 cm)
Independent (off-grid): PLUS + controller M46 + off-grid inverter M24; works with batteries without a grid connection
Grid-connected: PLUS + controller M46 + grid inverter M34

If there is no grid or you do not want to use it, choose the off-grid configuration with batteries. The grid-connected configuration is meant for a system tied to the grid.

What wind does the mast have to withstand?

The Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service states:

The highest wind speed recorded in the history of observations in Lithuania was 40 m/s.

So when choosing, it matters not only at what wind the turbine starts working, but also how the mast is secured. The PLUS set includes a 130 cm mast, and we help you choose the mast height to suit your location.

We handle it for you. We select the equipment for your site, deliver anywhere in Lithuania, install and connect it. We help assess the location and the mast height. A consultation before purchase is free.

What to know before you buy

Power: 1 kW peak, 890 W rated. The energy you actually get depends on the wind conditions at your site.
Permits: whether a permit is needed to put up a wind turbine depends on the power, mast height and plot. Tell us before ordering where you plan to install it, and we will find out what applies in your case.
