AIR is a revolutionary modular wind turbine. Now wind power can be captured as simply as solar power. Priced a little more than a photovoltaic module, AIR produces more than five times the peak power of a panel's rated output. Maintenance-free performance, easy installation and high output make AIR ideal for all applications. The AIR wind module is engineered to be mounted on a rooftop, no tower required. AIR can be used in combination with photovoltaic modules and/or multiple AIR modules can be installed to meet your power needs. Five wind modules will provide a 1.5 kilowatt rating (2.0+ kilowatt peak). $995

AIR is the number one selling battery charging wind turbine in the world. AIR brings together advanced brushless alternator technology, state-of the-art blades, and exclusive built-in regulation in an elegant die-cast aluminum body.
BLADES: The AIR's blades are made of carbon fiber reinforced composite that twists as the turbine reaches its rated output. This twisting effect changes the shape of the blade, causing it to go into stall mode. This limits the RPM of the alternator, preventing damage in high winds.
ALTERNATOR: The AIR's alternator is optimized to match as close as possible the energy available in the wind. It is constructed with Neodymium Iron Boron permanent magnets and is brushless for superior performance and maintenance-free operation.
REGULATION & CONTROL ELECTRONICS: The electronics performs several functions to assure maximum output and safety for the user. The control electronics maintains a load on the alternator at all times to make sure that the turbine never over speeds, regardless of the condition of the battery. As the battery is charged, the sophisticated regulator periodically checks the line, correcting for voltage loss and monitoring charge rate. Once the battery has reached its optimum charge level the regulator shuts the current off, preventing the battery from being overcharged while maintaining a load on the alternator at all times to prevent over speeding.
In less than three years, over 8,000 AIR marine and AIR wind modules have been sold, making it the number one selling turbine in the world.
