Harness the power of wind with our Home Wind Turbine System, designed specifically for residential applications. This complete package includes a 1.5kW wind turbine, charge controller, inverter, and a 30ft tower kit to maximize energy production.
The EcoTech Home Wind Turbine System is designed to provide reliable, clean energy for residential properties. Unlike solar panels that require direct sunlight, wind turbines can generate power day and night as long as there's sufficient wind. This makes them an excellent complement to solar systems or a standalone solution for areas with good wind resources.
Our turbine features a modern 3-blade design that maximizes energy capture while minimizing noise. The aerodynamically optimized blades are constructed from reinforced composite materials that are both lightweight and exceptionally durable, capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions including high winds, heavy rain, and snow.
The system includes a sophisticated charge controller that uses Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to optimize power production across varying wind speeds. This ensures you get the most energy possible from your wind resource. The included grid-tie inverter allows you to feed excess power back to the grid (where permitted) or store energy in batteries for later use.
By installing this 1.5kW wind turbine system, you can:
Beyond the environmental advantages, our wind turbine system offers compelling financial benefits:

I live on a small farm in Scotland with excellent wind conditions, and this turbine has been an absolute game-changer. It's been running for 4 months now and consistently produces more power than I expected. Installation was straightforward with the help of a local contractor, and the system integrated perfectly with my existing solar setup. The noise level is surprisingly low—I can barely hear it from the house. Customer support was excellent when I had questions about optimizing placement. Highly recommended for rural properties!
Our coastal home in Cornwall is the perfect location for this wind turbine, and it hasn't disappointed. The sea breeze keeps it spinning almost constantly, and we've seen our electricity bills drop dramatically. The monitoring app is fantastic—I love being able to track our energy production in real-time. Installation was more complex than expected, but EcoTech's recommended installer was knowledgeable and thorough. The turbine handled our first winter storm beautifully with no issues. Excellent product backed by great service.
After extensive research on residential wind turbines, I chose this system for my off-grid cabin in Wales. It's exceeded my expectations in every way. The low start-up speed means it generates power even in light breezes, and during windy days it produces enough to run everything in my cabin plus charge my battery bank. The build quality is outstanding—solid construction with no vibration or unusual noises. I especially appreciate how it complements my small solar array, providing power when the sun isn't shining. Perfect for energy independence!
On this day in 1887, Professor James Blyth of Anderson's College in Glasgow built the first wind turbine for electricity production. His 10-meter-high cloth-sailed wind turbine was installed in the garden of his holiday cottage and used to charge accumulators to power the lighting in his cottage, making it the first house in the world to have its electricity supplied by wind power.
