Small wind turbine · 5 kW class
Ten megawatt-hours a year from a 5 m rotor. This is the size that makes sense for a farm with a cold store, a small hotel, or a business that wants to cut a five-figure electricity bill without moving to an industrial turbine.
The 5 kW frame uses a 5 m rotor and a heavier generator than the 3 kW, with the same direct-drive architecture. At a 5 m/s site it produces about 10,000 kWh a year; at 6.5 m/s, closer to 17,000.
It ships as a kit: nacelle, three blades, hub, 15 m or 18 m lattice tower, grid-tie inverter or battery controller, and a foundation drawing stamped by a structural engineer for your wind load. Commissioning takes three days with a small crew and a telehandler.

Price depends on tower height, controller and battery bank — ask for a quote with your site details.
Rated at 11 m/s, furling starts at 13 m/s, survival to 59.5 m/s — cyclone-rated for coastal sites.
5 kW inverter with anti-islanding, reactive power control and Modbus monitoring.
Vibration, bearing temperature and rotor speed logged to an SD card and available over RS485.
Blades and nacelle can be lowered with the tower's own winch; the generator can be swapped with a chain hoist at the top.
Cold stores, packing lines, workshops and irrigation at 400 V, offsetting a business electricity tariff.
Off-grid or diesel-parallel supply for 10–30 rooms, with PV covering the daytime load.
One to three units plus 10 kW of PV and a 40 kWh battery form a 15–25 kW hybrid plant.
