XZERES 12KW

The Xzeres 442SR is a modern and quiet 12kw wind turbine that was designed and built in the United States.

 

The XZERES 442SR has the most efficient rotor design tested by a third party in the small wind industry today. Its performance has been tested and validated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and can produce up to 40% more energy than its competitors of the same rating in some wind resources.

The XZERES 442SR is designed to generate low cost energy through efficiency, reliability, and longevity. Its simple design limits moving parts to reduce service and maintenance costs, as well as allow for easy installation.

This machine gets its name from its large swept area of 442 sq ft. Name plate capacity of a wind turbine tells one very little of its efficiency or energy production potential, whereas swept area is directly related to energy production. By focusing on performance and reliability, our systems produce the lowest lifetime cost of energy, which yields the best return on your investment.

 

• Direct drive generator (no gearbox or belts)

• MCS Certified, guaranteed to claim FITs

• Includes a 5 year warranty with 5 years of free service (then service once every 3 years)

• No servicing costs until the end of year 8!

• Designed to IEC 61400-02 standards (class 2)

• Available for Single Phase and Three Phase

 

 

 


 

 

Economics

Cost of Energy

XZERES Performance data independently verified in the Wind Turbine Generator System Power Performance Test Report for the XZERES 442SR Wind Turbine, February 2010 by the National Renewable Energy Lab. Wind energy systems include the turbine, tower, inverter and controller. Total cost includes annual maintenance costs of 0.5% per year of total system cost for products with 10-year warranty, 1.0% per year for products with 5-year warranty. This model assumes a 30% federal tax credit and a 25% state rebate. This analysis assumes energy usage equals energy output.
