Silentwind generator

[Orla]

Anybody fitted one of these yet, up until yesterday I was buying an air breeze.
Then someone told me about Silentwind, must admit I’m inclined to go for it.

www.silentwindgenerator.com

Interested to hear if anyone has experience of them.

Not of the wind generator, but I bought a set of thier aftermarket blades for my AirX last summer. Made a huge difference to the noise, and they start turning in lower wind than the original blades so that part of the technology worked. Good communications and shipping too.

Likewise, having used the quiet blades for two seasons, but suspect peak power may be slightly lower, but then it was rarely achieved with the old blades.

Portuguese company.

Slightly shaky English - OK to phone and talk if you have either German or Portuguese

tel # +351253572765

12v version is €1,141, probably cheaper if you're able to haggle and collect.

Now, whether to buy one or not, that is the question.

Update on Silentwind Generator:-

It arrived well packed and in perfect condition, don’t know what i was expecting but I was very impressed with the quality of the unit.
All tools and installation books included, very professional looking.
It’s a meaty, robust looking bit of kit..

Not sure about the controller though, looks a bit industrial and not the nicest thing to look at, It needs to be mounted where I can see it and access the brake. Looks like it’s been designed to be mounted out of sight.

Still got to wire it up, so will update when it’s doing what it’s meant to be doing....

HI Comrade,
I am pretty sure the utube channel Sailing Beaver made a vid about putting one on. Some great vids of ocean sailing !
