Very Little data on what this model of wind turbine will actually produce. You may be seeing typical results. I got this from an
Amazon review:
" Tonight was my first real test 50mph winds no dice 1.47 Amps @ 12v .... Horrible really this should be putting out maximum power at these conditions. DO NOT BUY ALL SMALL WIND TURBINES SEEM TO WORK THE SAME!
I have two of these one 400 Watt 12v and one 550 Watt 24v AC They both put out the same amount of amperage so the larger one puts out about double the amount of wattage but it was also a bit more expensive as well. We are talking wattage that is NO WHERE CLOSE! to what is advertised I normally hate to give bad reviews on things because of error but I've tested it very throughly I made an AC Plug and Split the lines then I purchased an AC line splitter tested the AC side. Purchased 2 Clamp Amp Meters Both Do DC/AC amp measurements the results are the same and final. What you are getting is essentially 36 watts of power max I have seen all night out of the 12v really sad they are selling us a product that does not even come close it generates over -1000% power at max. This type of product should be outlawed it is totally illegal in my book false advertisement and should be removed from any website I don't care if this thing is on the Empire State Building there is not a chance in heck that it will generate what it says! Total scam Ripoff the lab conditions to get this measurement must have been pretty odd because there is not a chance.
Is it any wonder why people don't go green more often when people are allowed to lie about ouput up to 1000% and they can legitimately get away with it I would have sent it back had I not busted the tail of it and had to make a new one during installation. But man tick me off there should be a law against such a thing really to prevent green energy from getting all the negative flack that it does solar while not as bad on the measurements likely about 28% less than advertised still not bad but lab test ratings are BS I've spent hours and hours logging data now manually.
Keep this all in mind do not be discouraged but be cautious and know that when you purchase wind turbines GO BIG or GO HOME!"
=========
I am interested in a wind turbine and am looking at a
primus series of wind turbines. Very pricey though, and the turbine is only one of three or four components I would need to purchase. This puts it way past what I want to spend on a project. The company does have a good reputation and has been in business since 1995 and has 150k installations.
All of the less expensive wind turbines I've looked into buying don't seem to not work when I find honest reviews. In fact I've seen a few companies that stop selling their products, but the same looking turbine pops up for sale with a different company selling it.
