When purchasing any small wind turbine you need to do your homework. For most it is a reasonably costly investment and so it is very important to make sure the turbine you are buying is right for you.

EcoPowerShop.com is the UK's largest supplier of small wind turbines and a proud member of British Marine. We stock a wide range of wind turbines from the leading manufacturers and offer expert advice and after sales support, along with a no quibble returns process. We have been supplying small wind turbines for many years and have built up extensive knowledge in the field. Our sales have ranged from installing off-grid remote systems for multi-national companies with real time data monitoring, right down to supplying the everyday simple turbines for boats and caravans. As there is no global standard for small wind turbines we have built up our own standard for wind turbine power output and noise impact to assist our customers in making the correct choice.We ship worldwide and keep numerous spare parts in stock, so you can be confident we can support your ongoing wind turbine system requirements.

Leading Edge LE-v150 - Vertical Wind Turbine.

EPS Power Rating : LOW, EPS Noise Rating : VERY LOW

The LE-v150 follows on from the amazingly successful LE-v50 Turbine.

Like its smaller sibling, the LE-v150 is a compact, silent and lightweight vertical axis turbine designed to provide power outputs up to 150W for a host of different battery charging applications.

The LE-v150 is suitable for use in applications where a traditional horizontal axis turbine may be inappropriate – such as powering road signage and lighting in sub-urban areas where the compact nature and silent operation of the LE-v150 make easy work of turbulent winds.

The LE-v150 draws on our heritage of designing rugged vertical axis wind chargers for powering industrial and research equipment in extreme environments. However, the LE-v150 also lends itself perfectly for leisure activities in the Marine and Caravanning sector.

The LEv-150 is perfect for providing charge into valuable batteries whilst the yacht and caravan owners are away. This saves owners money by not having to connect to ‘shore power’ or repair and replace expensive batteries that have been damaged by becoming discharged. In the yachting world, the LEv-150 also reduces the effects of mains induced electrolysis and corrosion on the boat as well as meaning that owners can go on extended cruises without need to run the engine.

The LE-v150 can also be found all over the world powering small electronic systems in remote places where there is no other power source – Such as supplementing Solar PV panels in ‘off-grid’ renewable energy systems and powering LED street lights and other lighting systems.

• The LE-v150 is available in 12V, 24V and 48V versions.
• Silent Operation – absolutely no noise as the turbine operates
• Small Compact size – easy to install in places where space is a premium
• Lightweight – at only 13kg the LE-v150 can be installed with ease
• Safe – the rotating blades cannot cause injury
• Reliable – with only one moving set of parts and no brushes to wear out
• Indestructable – Designed & Proven to survive 120mph Antarctic winds
• Indestructible build quality & durability - The LE-v150 is manufactured from high quality aluminium alloys and stainless steel which has been laser processed, CNC machined, hard anodized and powder coated to ensure that the turbine will withstand the harsh effects of the extreme environments that it was originally designed for.
• With only 1 moving part, there is little to go wrong and no brushes or slip-rings to wear out and need replacing. The bearings are sealed for life and fully lubricated, so no greasing or maintenance is required. All of the fixings are manufactured from A4 stainless steel which are able to withstand the most corrosive of environments.
• The LEv-150 has a design lift of 20 years +, but due to its modular design and ease of maintenance, the turbine could easily run indefinitely!
• Pure Performance The LE-v150 uses a proven ‘Savonious’ rotor design which gives silent and effective performance. Using the latest solid modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamic simulations, we have come up with an elegant ‘cross-ventilated’ rotor which provides extremely good power conversion for a vertical axis turbine of this size. The rotor is then coupled to our specially designed low inertia, zero ‘cogging’ axial flux permanent magnet alternator to ensure an excellent power curve whilst the turbine starts up in the lightest of winds.
• Using Neodymium rare earth magnets, this alternator design has become one of the most field proven and effective alternators that is deployed across the entire range of Leading Edge Turbines!

Absolute Safety Unlike any other small wind turbine you will find, the LE-v150 can even be allowed to run ‘off-load’ with no connection to the batteries – The LE-v50′s rotor design will limit is RPM automatically. You can even try to put your hand into the spinning rotor, but it will be deflected away before any harm is done! These safety features make the turbine ideal for installation in places where space might be an issue, and where people are nearby – perfect for the deck of a sailing boat!
