Green Energy Technologies LLC has launched WindCube, a 60 kW rooftop wind turbine designed for on-site power generation by commercial and industrial power users in urban and suburban locations.
The turbine is available as a single (60 kW) or dual (120 kW) system and in rooftop or tower-mounted design. The product is modular to satisfy a customer's electrical requirements and produces the same amount of energy as a traditional turbine in a smaller framework.
The WindCube generates electricity by running its motor backwards using an impeller (the opposite of a propeller), eliminating the need for a gearbox. This lowers the cost of ownership because the gearbox is the source of most of the maintenance problems and failures on conventional wind turbines, according to Green Energy Technologies.
Roth Bros. Inc., a national energy management, HVAC and roofing services company, will provide WindCube customers with 24/7 monitoring of energy usage using an online remote system that it designed for the WindCube.
Roth will also provide professional installation of the WindCube turbines at each customer's location, from initial site analysis to commissioning.
