Wind Generators and the Environment

We enable our customers to move towards energy independence and reduce their environmental impact. We passionately pursue efficiency and engineering excellence in our development of renewable energy solutions.

Partnering with governments and international renewable energy associations we are committed to develop and implement sustainable energy generation technologies.

Evance technology is available through a global network of authorised resellers. Our resellers are leaders in their field and offer the highest levels of support and service to our customers.

Before considering a wind turbine further, you will need three crucial resources to ensure success.

• Land

The Evance R9000 is a powerful machine with a rotor diameter of 5.5m (18 feet) and will stands on a monopole tower. It is very quiet in operation, but not completely silent. We therefore recommend it is not normally sited within 75m of neighbouring homes and not within 50m of the owners’ home. BWE noise report. It should also be sited away from any obstacles such as trees and buildings which might obstruct prevailing winds.

• Wind

Good prevailing winds are essential. Annual mean wind speeds should ideally be above 5.0 m/s (10 mph). If you experience lower wind speeds we recommend that you consult with our partners Contact resellers. An approximation of your local wind speed can often be obtained from wind speed atlases on the internet or from local airports or aerodromes.

For UK customers, simply filling in the form on the Contact Us page will present you with the estimated wind speed for your postcode. Give it a try! If your location is near the top of a hill or you live within 10 miles (15km) of the coast, this will improve your wind resource. If you live in a valley or residential area your wind resource will be diminished.

• Investment

A fully installed Evance R9000 is a reasonable investment. Depending on your country and county your outlay can be significantly reduced due to government incentives, tax rebates, feed-in tariffs etc.

A few examples: UK, grants of £2,500 per unit are available for households (£4,000 in Scotland) and Feed-in Tariffs; USA enjoys a 30% income tax credit on the investment; Italy has a generous Feed-in Tariff.

Your local Evance Reseller will advise you in detail about you available grants and incentives, as well as guide you through the benefits and how to sell your excess power generated.

The following table gives an indication of the amount of energy you can expect from the turbine in a year according to your annual mean wind speed:

(Please note these annual energy yield figures are based on the actual average wind speed of your site. If you do not have clear, open ground, or there are other obstructions to the wind, your actual average wind speed may be lower than given by estimation tools.)
