Rutland's 1200 Windcharger is the latest generation of turbine, designed for users seeking higher generating capacity on board yachts and in off-grid locations. The windcharger combines a number of high tech features that are focused on quiet operation, low windspeed performance and high power delivery (up to 500W).
1200 features Rutland's new Tri-namic profile blade. This advanced blade combines low wind speed start up with high wind speed power performance and almost silent running across all wind speeds. The blade profile remains almost silent across all wind speeds, so you can be assured that you and your neighbours will not be disturbed by any aerodynamic noise.
The low friction generator rapidly responds to windspeed changes and its inertia drives the turbine on between gusts to capture more energy. Furthermore, three phase AC power delivered from the turbine to the controller minimises voltage drop on long cable runs.
Maximum Power Point Tracking technology is used to electronically boost the power outputs, charging your batteries faster. This controller (included) intelligently controls the inputs and battery voltage to provide efficient charging and fine battery voltage regulation and maintenance. Input capacity of the controller is high, accepting the Rutland 1200 with up to 20A of solar panels. Outputs of 2 battery banks make this an ideal solution for keeping batteries charged on sailing yachts.
