The WindAid Wind Turbine

 

With the technology available today, the developing world can skip a technology generation and benefit from clean and cheap energy now.

 

Wind turbines have their place in the solution for climate change and future energy generation and WindAid believes that they are the perfect technology for micro energy generation in Peru and South America.

 

But how effective are wind turbines in Peru as an energy source? The diagram below explains what you can do with one of the WindAid wind turbines built during the Volunteer WindAid program:

 

 

Volunteer WindAid uses a simple, low-cost wind turbine ideal for small energy generation. The cost of the turbine is such that electricity generated by the wind turbine is often cheaper than grid electricity and significantly cheaper and cleaner than the diesel generators that are so commonly used throughout South America.

 

The wind turbines manufactured as part of the Volunteer WindAid program are given to communities for free. It is the financial contribution and work of the volunteers during the Volunteer WindAid program that covers the cost of the wind turbine and installation.

 

WindAid wind turbines manufactured in Peru by skilled and trained engineers can be purchased from WindAid. Please visit www.windaid.com for more details including costs, other WindAid wind turbine models and how a WindAid wind turbine can benefit your business or home.
