The UK is the windiest country in Europe, particularly during the colder months when we consume more electricity. We have 40% of Europe’s total wind energy but currently harness it for only 0.5% of our electricity requirements. Wind power is a clean, renewable source of energy and provides no carbon dioxide emissions on waste products, making it possible to generate and consume electricity with a clear conscience!
VAWTECH (vertical access wind turbine) - the affordable and silent wind generator, ideal for urban and built-up areas.
Almost half of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions, the main greenhouse gas which causes climate change, actually come from everyday things we do.
Changing our habits – not overfilling the kettle, turning off unwanted lights, etc – is only half of the solution. We will still need electricity but we can generate clean and renewable energy by turning to wind power – and with the Vawtech Wind Turbine there is a revolutionary way to do this economically

Innovation, design and technology - saving you money and reducing your carbon footprint.
The over-sized propeller style generators are a familiar concept as wind farms become an environmental necessity but these are noisy and not ideal for urban and built-up areas or for domestic use.
The new VAWTECH vertical access generators are designed specifically to overcome the drawbacks and to deliver a realistic and silent alternative to those wanting to generate their own electricity.

HAWT (traditional propeller design)
Disadvantages
Must not be any obstructions between it and the wind-source and needs to rotate to track the wind
Urban and built up areas generate turbulence, reducing power output
Planning permission is hard to obtain where noise, vibration and visual impact are concerns
Cost
Payback can take 15 years
VAWTECH (vertical access design)
Solutions
Omni-directional and generates from variable direction wind source
Output is unaffected by turbulence (up to 40% higher output than HAWT), making it well suited to urban environments
Noise and vibration are reduced almost to nil; the design is much smaller, visually unobtrusive and more acceptable to a wide variety of situations
Less than half the cost of an equivalent propeller unit
Typical payback within 3 – 5 years
It doesn’t cost the earth and can give you payback within three to five years.
We have made the ownership of your own wind generator a realistic prospect for the first time by removing the biggest disincentive – expense.
The considerably lower purchase cost, the hugely increased power outputs, the virtually silent operation, even the complete safety for passing birdlife – all of these are vast improvements over traditional propeller designs, meaning you can now generate your own electricity economically and at no cost to the environment.
Our turbines are even 100% recyclable – seeProducts for further information. Visit Products to find out more about the innovative VAWTECH generators, and Future Developments to see how quickly we are developing larger models.
