Pikasola Wind Turbine Generator Kit 400W 12V with 5 Blade, with Charge Controller, Wind Power Generator for Marine, RV, Home, Windmill Generator Suit for Hybrid Solar Wind System

Very nice product. Easy setup , machined parts are perfectly designed. Appreciated the effort and thought behind designing such a great product. Pays for itself !

The unit did not generate very much electricity at 15' even though there were sustained winds at over24 miles per hour. The company took back the unit and provided a full refund. The company was responsive and easy to work with.

This thing is trash. If you have money to spare, by all means buy this wind generator. Mine broke within the first year. The alternator shaft that connects the propeller broke and I have since removed it. The five fins and its nose cap assembly literally came flying off while spinning in the wind. It has a narrow wind speed of generation before it goes into an electrical breaking mode because of "high wind rpms" this was a waste of money.

Not a good unit! It says 400 watts I’m getting 10 and the wind speeds at 20-30 mph here on the regular so very disappointing!

Great product so far. I installed this on my sailboat at the very stern. I had the base welded to an iron pipe ($20 weld). I also added an additional 2" of fiberglass over the deck 12" around the base of the pole (4" total), then ran a single 8' iron pipe all the way through the deck, bolted through with top and bottom flanges. Then ran 4 guy wires from 6' up the pole to the deck. Once the pole was installed, installing the turbine was easy. I'm using the turbine to charge a 2-battery bank in parallel and a 3000W inverter. Consistent power draw with VHF's, stereo, bilge pumps, a 2.5 cubic ft fridge, phone chargers, etc.......is 200-300W. In 10MPH winds or higher, the turbine provides enough charge to maintain battery charge. Lower than that, I can cycle the inverter off and maintain. I intend to add 600W in solar panels to the turbine soon.

I added this to my cabin's solar system to supplement the system at night when the wind might be blowing but the sun isn't a factor. Surprised at the sturdiness of product and it works well with minimal noise. Company's customer service is excellent in responding to questions; very helpful. When my central locking nut was compromised, they quickly sent me not one, but 6 replacements.

I’ve been using mine for about three weeks now, no issues at all. Installation took me about an hour. Highly recommend using 10gauge cable at least until you get to the controller and battery bank, which are installed about ten feet away from the base of the pole, so I have like 30 to 35 feet of 10gauge cables. Mine is installed on a 22 feet tall steel pole. Where I’m at I got constant winds of about an average of 22mph and let me tell you this thing never stops. It doesn’t bring the rubber that goes between the base of the windmill and the pole. I made one out of an old bicycle tube. So far so good. No issues at all, great constant energy generation. My batteries are always between 12.7 to 13.2 volts. For now I have a set of two deep cycle batteries that produce about 60amps, I run two sets of lights that draw 27 watts/h for about 10 hours a day, a 12v pressure pump that runs for about 30 minutes daily and a 1000watt power inverter. My batteries are always over 75% charged. I’m giving just four stars because it didn’t bring the rubber for the base and I think that is something very simple to address so I hope they change that. Apart from that, I think this thing is great.

So far it is working superbly, blades aren't extremely well balanced so you will definitely want guide wires even if its not very high. Charge controller works but the red "working" indicator doesn't blink although when tested I have good voltage charge my bank. I will probably buy one more of these, we get lots of wind where I live in alaska. It only took roughly 5 hours to install including time to weld the flange it came with to a nipple. I was able to do it all by myself as well so not extremely difficult. I would recommend getting an extra pair of hands, it would of been much easier.

I will update further down and tell you about power production at various wind speeds. Let you know the actual. So, update, 25.6kmh wind is producing 67w. Correction 20 km/h consistently is 60w output.

Meilleure que la 3palles courant plus stable

I was very excited to try a wind turbine. Set it up and honestly it didn't deliver what was advertised. On a very windy day the volts were 15.5 so I was happy. One day I come into my shop and I hear a hauling from outside. I check the voltage and nothing is there. One day before I could return it so that made me happy at least. So now I know that wind turbines aren't the greatest. Waste of time and money.

Je l'ai installé, mais ne vante pas ça ira a plus tard pour un commentaire

The set up is simple especially with the right pole.
