Why Invest in Wind Energy ROBUST Green Technology Services provides the world’s most robust, low maintenance turbines. We work closely with clients in a number of key market sectors to make sure their specific electricity generation needs are met. Underwriters Laboratory tested & patented turbines have undergone extensive testing under the most rigorous of climate conditions. Our market-leading installations operate successfully throughout the world. With upwind turbines, the systems work with nature and not against it. It lets you get the most out of any wind speed, helping to maximize your investment. DESIGN The patented Blade System enables the turbines to generate power in light or strong winds. The unique designed systems, a combination of innovative design and the latest techniques in advanced composite technology, allows the blades to bend and flex. As the wind gets stronger, the blades twist to reduce their aerodynamic efficiency. This lets the Proven Energy turbine maintain a high output even in the fiercest storms, unlike many turbines which need to stop generating power to protect themselves at high wind speeds. The blades also regulate their speed, preventing damage if the load from the turbine is disconnected through a power cut or electrical fault. LOW NOISE Turbine are designed to minimize noise and maintenance. It has a direct drive generator, which operates with or without gearboxes The generator load is continuously monitored to keep the blades rotating at a low speed, while optimizing power output. Compared with other modern small turbines, the blade tip speed of chosen turbines are low. This means that noise is reduced substantially. All that can be heard is the swish of blades turning in the wind, which is virtually unnoticeable. But don’t just take our word for it – Find and arrange a visit to an existing turbine near you. Low Maintenance Energy controllers are designed to run the system automatically and display power output from the turbine. The power connectors and turbine brake are easily accessible at the base of the mast. There is no need for specialist skills. On installation you will receive an easy-to-follow user guide, which gives you all the information you need. We recommend regular maintenance checks for optimum performance. These can be carried out by a local distributor. Grants and funding for installation are widely available for consumers and businesses. Generating electricity from a wind turbine helps to cut down CO2 emissions and reduces climate change levy charges. See our Funding page for further information.

Conclusion As a responsible citizen and as a responsible business owner, you should definitely consider your options for renewable energy. With the advancing technology of today, there are even more options for renewable energy systems that you can have for Industrial use. Although these systems have been in use since the beginning of the 20th century, the efficiency of these systems have been on the rise for the past decade. Today, commercial / industrial renewable energy systems are very efficient and their prices are getting lower everyday with technological advancements. Hence, it is not too expensive today to install a residential energy system at your Business or Industrial Location. Self Reliant Energy Company
