Find InstallerThe Aeroleaf® is a patented micro wind turbine with a vertical-axis design inspired by the shape of a leaf. It utilizes a synchronous micro-generator with permanent magnets to efficiently convert wind energy into electricity, even in low wind conditions.
An individual Aeroleaf® turbine can produce up to 300 watts of power. When combined in configurations like the WindTree, which consists of multiple Aeroleafs, the system can generate significantly more electricity, depending on wind conditions.
Aeroleaf® turbines start generating electricity at wind speeds as low as 2.5 meters per second (approximately 9 km/h), making them suitable for urban and low-wind environments.
No, Aeroleaf® turbines are designed for silent operation. Their direct-drive mechanism eliminates the need for belts or gears, resulting in minimal noise, which is ideal for residential and urban settings.
Yes, the Aeroleaf® Hybrid model combines wind and solar energy by integrating a small solar panel with the wind turbine. This hybrid approach enhances overall energy production, especially during periods of low wind or sunlight.
Aeroleaf® turbines are versatile and can be installed on rooftops, terraces, masts, pylons, lampposts, and other structures capable of supporting their weight and the forces generated by wind.
Yes, Aeroleaf® turbines are constructed from recyclable materials and are designed to be wildlife-friendly. Their silent operation and aesthetic design minimize environmental impact and visual intrusion.
The vertical-axis design of Aeroleaf® turbines allows them to capture wind from all directions, making them effective in both turbulent and laminar wind conditions commonly found in urban areas.
Aeroleaf® turbines are designed for low maintenance due to their simple mechanical structure without belts or gears. Regular inspections and cleaning are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
Yes, Aeroleaf® turbines can be integrated into off-grid systems, providing renewable energy for locations without access to the main electricity grid. They can also be combined with battery storage solutions for continuous power supply.
