Power Where the Grid doesn’t Reach

FAQ

• How Long will my Order Take to Arrive?
  • Most gear arrives 5 to 10 working days from the day you order.
  • Allow 1–2 days for fulfilment.

  1. Regional and remote addresses take longer.

  • Delivery is free on everything except wind turbines.
  • Once it's on its way, you can follow it on our Order Tracker page.
• How are Wind Turbines Delivered, and What does Freight Cost?
  • Our turbines are built to order.
  • The X-300, M-400, M-600 and M-800 come with free sea delivery to your door in Australia and New Zealand. Want it sooner? Choose air freight on the product page.
  • For our other turbines, freight to your door in Australia and New Zealand is priced by your postcode at checkout.
  • By sea: 4 to 6 weeks (allow 7 for WA and regional addresses).
  • By air: 2 to 3 weeks.

  1. Four models (G-3000, G-5000, H1000 and H2000), any turbine going outside Australia and New Zealand, and a few remote postcodes for our larger turbines are quoted per address — send us your address and we'll price it.
• Which Size Wind Turbine do I Need?
  • Start with what you want to run and how windy your site is.
  • Our Wind Turbine Buyer's Guide walks you through it.
  • The calculator on our turbine pages gives you an estimate.
  • A turbine keeps charging whenever the wind blows, day or night.

  1. It backs up your solar — it doesn't replace it.

  • Not sure? Ask us.
• Can a Small Wind Turbine Charge my Boat or Caravan Batteries?
  • Yes — that is what the X-300, M-400 and M-600 are for.
  • They keep 12, 24 or 48 V batteries charging at night and in wet, windy weather, when solar stops.
  • In open, clean wind — on the water, or parked on the coast — they don't need a tall mast.

  1. They help your solar — they don't replace it.
• Do Small Turbines Need a Gale to Make Power?
  • No — small turbines are built to spin fast. The smaller the rotor, the faster it has to turn to keep its blade tips up with the wind: the M-400's 1.35 m rotor runs at about 800 rpm, the M-600 and M-800 at about 500, the big G-series at 300.
  • In the manufacturer's words, the high rpm is a design necessity, not a defect.
  • They start turning at 2 to 2.5 m/s and make power right across the wind range — just less when the wind is light. What you get depends on your site and how high you mount it.
• What Voltage are your Wind Turbines?
  • It depends on the model — the voltage is on every turbine's product page.
  • Most charge a 12, 24 or 48 V battery bank through a controller.
  • Four larger models — G-3000, G-5000, L2-2500 and L2-3000 — generate at a higher voltage, and their matched controller steps it down to charge a 48 V battery bank.

  1. Match it to your battery bank or system before you buy.
• Do you Deliver Outside Australia and New Zealand?
  • Yes — we deliver worldwide.
  • Delivery is free on everything except most of our wind turbines — our four small turbines (X-300, M-400, M-600 and M-800) ship free within Australia and New Zealand.

  1. We can't deliver to the United States at the moment.
  2. Any import duty or tax charged when it arrives in your country is yours to pay.
