Small wind turbine · 5 kW class

5 kW small wind turbine

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.

Design details

5 m rotor, 19.6 m² swept area

Rated at 11 m/s, furling starts at 13 m/s, survival to 59.5 m/s — cyclone-rated for coastal sites.

400 V three-phase grid-tie

5 kW inverter with anti-islanding, reactive power control and Modbus monitoring.

Condition monitoring as standard

Vibration, bearing temperature and rotor speed logged to an SD card and available over RS485.

Serviceable without a crane

Blades and nacelle can be lowered with the tower's own winch; the generator can be swapped with a chain hoist at the top.

Where it is used

Commercial and agri-industrial

Cold stores, packing lines, workshops and irrigation at 400 V, offsetting a business electricity tariff.

Small hotels and resorts

Off-grid or diesel-parallel supply for 10–30 rooms, with PV covering the daytime load.

Village micro-grids

One to three units plus 10 kW of PV and a 40 kWh battery form a 15–25 kW hybrid plant.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a 5 kW wind turbine cost?
A complete 5 kW system with a 15 m tower, grid-tie inverter and installation hardware is typically USD 12,000–18,000 ex-works, before shipping, foundation and electrical works. Battery-based systems add the cost of storage.
What wind speed do I need for 5 kW?
Annual average of at least 5 m/s at hub height, 15 m up. Below 4.5 m/s the economics weaken quickly; above 6 m/s this is one of the cheapest kWh you can buy off-grid.
Can it run three-phase equipment directly?
Yes — the 400 V version feeds a three-phase distribution board through the inverter, and can run pumps and motors up to 4 kW starting load with the soft-start option.
