GUS Vertical Axis Micro Wind Turbines

The better alternative to horizontal axis, propeller-style wind turbines for all small to medium-sized wind power generation applications

hile propeller-style turbines are well-suited for utility-scale wind farm sites generating over 100 kilowatts of power, theyre fundamentally incompatible in urban settings and for homeowner or commercial building applications. Thats why the GUS turbines superior versatility, power efficiency, and environmental friendliness make it the preferred choice.

A Design and Scale Thats Compatible For You

Available in five power ratings from 1 kw to 15 kw ranging from 4.75 feet to 18.5 feet in overall height, your GUS turbine easily integrates into a wide variety of architectural styles. Mounting options include rooftops, chimneys, and pole mounts. Because installations can be kept under 35 feet, they can meet most residential zoning requirements.

Unique Feature-Set That Makes GUS Turbines So Outstanding

Offers a compact size and the visual appeal of a non-intrusive small footprint Faces any changing wind direction 100% of the time, maximizing wind harvest, while eliminating the need to endlessly swivel back and forth to accommodate wind turbulence Produces up to 50% more electricity on an annual basis than conventional propellerstyle turbines having the same swept area Is engineered with a low threshold (start-up) wind speed and a high upper level wind speed to provide the broadest velocity range for maximum power generation. Withstands extreme weather including frost, ice, snow, sand, humidity, and even winds that are greater than 130 mph Requires virtually no maintenance, since its crafted as a sealed unit design and without the need for a gearbox Operates silently and generates no harmonics to cause pulsating or background hum sound effects Uses a vertical, non-reflecting, helix-style blade to eliminate any annoying strobelight effects, making it easy on the eyes Provides birds and bats with the perception of a solid profile making it friendly to wildlife and respectful of the living environment Can be custom-painted and custom-branded

Wind Power Generation In Perfect Harmony

GUS Micro Wind Turbines provide clean, green, quiet, and discreet power solutions that work in harmony with nature and the human environment. For many people, the beautiful design and smoothly rotating narrow structure resembles a work of art and can be seen in functional works of art incorporated into ecological building and landscape structures. Turbines may also be used together with solar photovoltaic panels to form a hybrid wind-solar system that can be either on or off the electrical grid.
