Essential Info

The Sunforce Products 45444 600 Watt Land Wind Turbine Power Generator with MPPT Charge Controller will allow you to harness the power of the wind by using a wind turbine to generate electricity to power your home. The wind generator turbine is small yet versatile and can produce up to 600 Watts of output for charging both 12 Volt and 24 Volt battery banks. It is compatible with multiple battery options in today's market, including flooded lead acid, absorbed Glass mat (AGM), gel cell and NiCad; for 12-volt systems it recommended to use batteries with 400 Amp-hours and for 24-volt systems batteries with 200 Amp-hours. It is field adjustable for 12V or 24V applications, making it ideal for backup and off-grid power. It also features a special coating that protects the generator in marine or coastal environments, making it suitable for inland or marine locations. Your wind turbine is designed to operate in most climatic conditions and winds up to 150 MPH. According to engineering calculations, the bearings should have a 10-year life span in 12-16 mph (6 m/s) average wind speed sites. Bearing life will vary from one application to another; however, you should expect at least a five-year performance in adverse conditions and 10 years in normal conditions. The turbine begins to supply power in wind speeds as low as 2.5 MPH and includes overspeed protection at 1300 RPM. It also includes an MPPT charge controller that maximizes power output for optimal charging capability and battery health.

Please Note: Your Sunforce 600 Watt Wind Turbine is designed with your personal safety as the first priority. However, there are still some inherent dangers involved with any electrical and/or mechanical equipment. Safety must be the primary concern as you plan the location, installation and operation of the turbine.

    The gentleman from Africa has the blades installed backwards which is easy to do. Turn the blades over and try again. I purchased 2 from somebody else for my Mexico house and will buy several more for my home in the states now; from Smarthome.

    We love this product. It works in low winds or high winds and really helps keep our batteries charged without using our generator. We've had this wind generator working for over a year now. The one negative comment that I read in this product rating that the blades only turns slowly at 20 mph may be due to the built in braking function that you manually turn on an off with a rocker switch on the MPPT charge controller. When the brake is on the blades will only turn slowly at high winds. If the brake is off the blades turn very fast and generate the power claimed by the company. The braking function works very effectively. I did have a problem with the MPPT charger but I called customer service and they replaced it at no cost.

    25 watts at 6 mph. So far I could not find a better wind turbine for low wind. The best is always use a solar panel for your money. You can buy one 250 watts soalr panel for $ 750....and that will give you a day so much more watts. But if you are like me...I like both and I love the sound of it ! Windmax is the only one that comes close to this turbine...but this design of sunforce rocks...it has good curb appeal.

    I don't understand the bad comments I read. I have one and it does what it claims and i did hours of checking: 12 mph = 56 watts. 13.4mph =100 watts. 17.8 mph =200 watts 20 mph = 300 watts. 22.3 mph = 350 watts. 26.31 = 500. I could not find any better wind turbines working at LOW wind and giving amps. If you have high winds then buy a missouri wind and solar turbine...but they give nothing at low wind.

    I just bought a second one from smarthome $ 100 cheaper than anywhere else and delivered to Hawaii.
    Lindsay -- South Africa   10/5/2011
    This product DOES NOT WORK AT ALL and will NOT produce ANY power in anything short of a gale. I am not qualified to judge where the problem is, but it appears to me that the blades are so wrong that the machine can only spin slowly in 20 knots of wind. Do not buy this product until the problem is solved.
