Kingspan KW6 wind turbine 6kW


Kingspan KW6 wind turbine 6kW

Kingspan have become the new owners of Proven Energy and now introduce the KW6 wind turbine which stands out from all other small scale wind turbines due to its unique blade and hinge design which allows it to regulate its rotational speed, maximizing output - as the wind gets stronger the blades pitch and cone, protecting the turbine and allowing continual operation during the fiercest of storms.

Kingspan KW6 wind turbine is the result of over 30 years research and development and born from a global installed fleet size in excess of 800 – including the world’s largest rural off-grid fleet in The Falkland Islands through to specialist installations in Asia, Europe, North America, offshore oil platforms and the global telecoms sector.
