With a rotor diameter of 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) and a peak output of approximately 1,600 watts, the XL.1 is intended for the off-grid home market in North America and for rural electrification programs in developing countries. It is also a perfect upgrade system for current owners of micro-turbines, such as the Air 303 or 403.
The XL.1 combines a number of advanced technical features, including a completely new airfoil (patent pending), to provide the highest efficiency yet achieved in a small wind turbine.
The XL.1 includes the BWC PowerCenter controller which controls battery charging, provides a common interconnection point for all the DC (direct current) components, and even includes a 30 A controller for the solar modules that are often a part of a complete hybrid system. The PowerCenter allows an auxiliary or "dump" load to be connected to utilize excess wind (and/or solar) power after the batteries are fully charged.
The XL.1 is offered with a tubular Tilt-up tower in heights from 9 m (30 ft) to 32 m (104 ft). These kits will be easy to install and will offer customers a complete "ready to install" kit.
