6kW Wind Turbine

Client: Tim & Lisa Silke
Location: Co. Galway
Description: Eoltec ‘Scirocco’ 6kW Wind Turbine

This installation is on an existing home located in Co. Galway.

This project consists of the installation of an Eoltec ‘Scirocco’ 6kW Wind Turbine with Power One ‘Aurora’ 6kW inverter. The installation is grid connected.

The turbine is located in a field to the rear of the house with good exposure to the prevailing south westerly wind. It is installed on a 12m high monopole tilt-up tower.

The inverter equipment is located in the shed and wired to the distribution board in the house. It is estimated that the system will produce approximately 15000 kWh/year and is expected to meet and even exceed the houses total annual electrical usage including the running of their Geothermal Heat Pump. The owner will also benefit by being able to sell any excess electricity generated. See details on our Grants & Incentives page.

Notes:
This installation is one of a number Domestic installations under SEI’s Small and Micro-scale Generation Pilot Field Trials - see www.sei.ie/Grants/Microgenpilot/. This installation’s performance will be independently monitored by SEI over an 18 month period.
