WIND
Wind is a type of solar energy. Wind is caused by the uneven heating of our atmosphere by the sun, the differences of the earth’s surface along with the rotation of the earth. We can harvest wind using turbines to generate electricity.
Wind turbines convert kinetic energy from the wind into power. A generator is then used to convert the mechanical power into electricity, powering homes, businesses and communities.
A wind turbine is simply the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to create wind, they use wind to create electricity. When hit by the wind the blades rotate. This motion turns a rotor, which spins a generator, this motion creates kinetic energy, which is then used to create electricity.
The best way to ensure that you are grid independent is to have a strategy using multiple renewable sources. Wind energy can be a great compliment to your solar solutions, especially during the winter when solar is not as efficient (in some locations). Wind solutions can be utilised in domestic, commercial and national infrastructure projects, and as with solar should be used with a BESS system for maximum efficiency.
We can help implement wind projects in the same way as with solar, we advise on the best solution to provide you with a fixed rate for the energy you need.
