Neither do I, and when you look at the supplier's premises the alarm bells ring.

On the Amazon listing someone has asked if it is 12v or 24v. The reply was:
Hi, Yes we have the 12V and 24V versions. Kind regards - EPS Team.

GBP 550.00 to wreck the sleep of everyone in nearby boats seems good value to me.

Just another Chinese copy by the look of it, this time sold from Italy. Cheap to buy but probable not designed for maintenance.

Aren’t wind generators like that a bit “retro” these days? All moving to solar, which has come on hugely in recent years, potentially plus a stern mounted water generator if doing blue water?
Perhaps why the OP is interested as his byline is “retro navigation”

I bought SpectraFlex solar panel from Eco Power Shop. It failed with water ingress in a few weeks. Sending evidence to them they agreed immediately and without argument that the product was faulty. I changed the panel for a USA made PowerFilm one instead, and bought another at the same time. Didn't have any problems at all. They answer the phone quickly, know what they are talking about, get back when they say they will, supplied the correct products I ordered in good time and gracefully accepted fault and refunded return postage when a product they supplied failed. Not a scam company at all in my experience. Pleasure to deal with and I'd reccomend them.

Thank you for the comments.
The advertised item on Amazon uk is an 'air breeze', not a Chinese one, and the seller is not eco power shop, but 'galleriagraffiti' and at a price about half the normal retail - hence my question about it being a scam.

item now has, currently unavailable.

youtube vloggers "learning The Lines" have a 48v aire breeze i think, they are doing a video soon of it.

Same thing happened about a month ago - was listed at the same price but from another 'supplier'. After a few days the listing then changed to 'currently unavailable' at which point I contacted the 'seller' by email and was assured the item was in stock and I could place my order through Amazon UK. (I did not). Strange.

>stern mounted water generator if doing blue water

I know a boat crossing the Atlantic that had that bittern off by a shark that thought it was a fish.
