Our 12v budget wind turbine kit includes all the elements that will help you on your way to generating your own electricity.
It will by no means become your sole electricity supply but will contribute to your energy needs.
Our systems comprise of 6 major parts (as shown below). We have hand-picked a compatible piece of equipment for each part. This means that the system has the best parts available for the price.
It also means that there are no real bottle necks, meaning that you're not paying for a component that is being held back by the rest of the system.

The Rutland 503 is an ideal entry level turbine that is capable of producing 60w (This would continuously power approx 5 or 6 energy saving lightbulbs).
However, as the energy is going to be stored in a battery you can save this up and use it on higher power equipment.
We have provided a Rigging Kit that can be used to temporarily mount the turbine in a suitable location.
Please note: Because we have no control over how and where turbines are mounted it is your responsibility to ensure that turbines are mounted suitably and in a responsible fashion. We do not recommend that you use this kit fpr permanent mounting unless you intend to concrete the components in to the ground.
This kits comes with 10m of cable that runs between the turbine and the regulator.
Depending on your setup we can supply you with additional lengths of cable to run between the regulator/battery/inverter although ordinarily these should be placed together and won't need additional cable.
Please note: We don't recommend more than 10m between the turbine and the regulator otherwise the system will become very inefficient. (DC voltage reduces through the cable's natural resistance).
The HRS503 is specifically designed for use with the turbine in this kit (Rutland 503).
It's the regulator's job to ensure that the battery is charged correctly and safely. It also prevents overcharge of the battery and slows the turbine down as the batteries become fully charged.
The battery we've chosen for this system is an AGM 55. If you're technically minded this means that it is an Absorbed Glass Mat battery with a 55 Amp hour rating. If you're not, basically it means that it's a robust, maintenance-free battery that is capable of storing a small amount of charge.
To give you an idea of how much power it can store, if it was fully charged it could power five energy-saving lightbulbs for approx 8 hours.
Battery Clips also included.
The inverter's job is to turn the DC current in to AC current that powers household appliances.
To ensure that the battery isn't depleted too quickly, we've chosen a 150W inverter for this system.
This means that you can plug in appliances upto 150w. Examples of these include: Bench Grinder, Games Consoles, Stereo, Television, Hand-Held Electric Mixer, Phone Charger or it could be hooked in to a lighting ring to power up to 13 energy-saving lightbulbs.
We also provide you with simple, easy-to-follow instructions in plain english to help you set up your system.

The beauty of the Free Standing kits are that if you're only planning for the structure to be you won't require planning permission. However, if you are planning a more permanent installation please check with your local Planning Office.
