What is at the other end of the
wind turbine cable? In
the picture below you can see the turbine control panel (on the
left of picture), 6kW grid connect inverter (right of picture)
and ROCs meter (bottom centre of picture).
These devices are mounted on a
4ft x 4ft wooden board (1" thick).
The ROCs meter is an energy
meter that measures all the energy the turbine has produced in
its life time.

The Proven 6kW wind turbines come
on a 9meter tower as standard but can be changed slightly on
request (planning permission reasons etc..).
System
Types; The 6kW wind turbine comes in one
of three different types depending on the system preferred.
As explained in the
'wind turbines explained' page, the three types of
system to choose from are; battery, heating-only and grid-tie.
Costing; The grid-tie system is the most popular at
around £18,250 (guide price only).
For those with no mains power there are
battery systems.
The battery system includes a bank of batteries to store the power and so costs a little more at £25,000 (guide
price only). Heating-only systems are good for
supplying power to heaters only, hence the name 'heating-only'.
Heating-only is good for draftee old houses or heating swimming
pools/ domestic hot water systems etc.. Heating only are
the simplest and therefore the cheapest of the three systems.
Also, all renewable energy systems are charged at a 5% VAT rate
not 17.5%!

| Above:- 6kW Proven wind
turbine on a 9meter self supporting tower. This picture
shows Proven's new and more sleek twintex. These blades provide more power than the older
versions and are also quieter than ever before. This turbine requires a
concrete base of around 6 cubic meters and an anchor block of
around two cubic meters (for winching up and down).
detailed information can be seen in the foundation pack (click
on the icon beside the appropriate listing on the left).
Power Usage; Unlike the 2.5kW turbine
that will provide enough electricity to supply all of you're
electricity needs excluding heating, the 6kW turbine will
produce enough power to for all your electricity needs.
Obviously peoples electricity needs vary depending on their
house size, family size, lifestyle etc.. so we base our
calculations on the average household consumption figures.
Annual output;
The 6kW Proven wind turbine
will produce somewhere in the region of 7,500 units of
electricity per year (based on average site wind conditions).
