SMARTWIND 500 W vertical wind turbine

SMARTWIND 500 W is the highest-power SMARTWIND version: maximum power 500 W, rated power 300 W and a start-up wind speed of 3.2 m/s, the highest in the series (the 300 W version starts at 2.6 m/s, the 400 W version at 2.4 m/s). Choose it when rated power matters more than an early start. The output is three-phase AC up to 24 V, the noise level is below 40 dB and the warranty is 2 years.

Technical specifications

How the SMARTWIND 500 W differs from the 300 W and 400 W versions

Choose the 500 W version when you need 300 W of rated power and a 3.2 m/s start-up wind speed is acceptable. If an earlier start matters more, look at the SMARTWIND 400 W (200 W rated, starts at 2.4 m/s) or the SMARTWIND 300 W (150 W rated, starts at 2.6 m/s). Dimensions (70 × 70 × 120 cm), weight (10 kg), voltage and noise level are the same for all three versions.

What is the SMARTWIND 500 W vertical wind turbine for?

All three SMARTWIND versions are meant for the same uses and differ only in power and start-up wind speed:

• Camping
• Tool sheds
• Houseboats
• Places where it is hard to connect to the national grid
• Getting to know wind energy or checking whether a site has enough wind

12 V and 24 V wind turbine: what does it connect to?

The SMARTWIND 500 W is designed for 12/24 V DC battery systems, and its output is three-phase AC up to 24 V. It can be combined with a Stand Alone or Grid Connected inverter system. Specific inverter, controller or battery models are not specified, so we will choose a suitable match for your system.

How to choose a small wind turbine: power and start-up speed

Look at the rated power (300 W), not only the maximum (500 W), and at the start-up wind speed of 3.2 m/s. The rated power is double that of the 300 W version (150 W), but the start-up wind speed is 0.6 m/s higher, and 0.8 m/s higher than the 400 W version. Real output depends on the wind at your site, so before you buy we assess the location and your needs together.

Is a small wind turbine suitable for a home?

The SMARTWIND 500 W is the largest of the three versions, but it is still a small turbine with a rated power of 300 W. If you are looking for a wind turbine for a house, tell us how much electricity you need and we will assess together whether 300 W of rated power is enough or a different solution is needed.

What wind does the mast have to withstand?

According to the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service:

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

Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service — Wind (translated from Lithuanian)

The start-up wind speed is only part of the picture: how the mast is secured matters just as much, including the foundation, guy wires and fixing points.

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