A Practical 1 kW Small Wind Turbine
Storm-1 is designed for customers who need a compact wind turbine for small-scale electricity generation,
night backup, attach with solar, battery charging or hybrid renewable-energy systems.
What Makes Storm-1 Useful?
Storm-1 uses a three-phase permanent magnet generator with a three-blade horizontal-axis rotor.
Its compact design makes it suitable for smaller properties and hybrid systems where the available wind resource has first been checked.
Rated power is not continuous power. Actual output depends on wind speed and site conditions.

Understanding Wind Speed
Wind speed is one of the most important factors in turbine performance.
The turbine may start at low wind speed, but useful energy increases as the wind becomes stronger.
The turbine may begin operating around this wind speed.
Listed rated power is reached around the specified rated wind condition.
Manufacturer-listed survival/security wind speed.
Start wind speed does not mean full power. Actual electrical output changes continuously with wind speed.
Is Your Site Suitable?
Where Can Storm-1 Be Used?
Homes
For small loads and hybrid energy support.
Farmhouses
Very useful where open wind is available.
Battery Charging
With compatible controller and battery system.
Solar + Wind
Suitable for hybrid renewable-energy systems.
Wind + Solar Hybrid System
Storm-1 can be combined with solar panels, batteries and a compatible inverter.
Mainly produces during daylight hours.
Can generate day or night whenever sufficient wind is available.
Tower & Site Requirements
Tower Height
Tower heights such as 6 m, 9 m, 12 m, 15 m or higher may be considered depending on surrounding obstacles and local wind conditions.
Rooftop Installation
Rooftop installation should be considered only after checking building strength,
vibration, water tanks, surrounding buildings and turbulence.
Ground Installation
A ground-mounted tower is often preferred where open space is available because it can provide cleaner airflow and easier maintenance.
Foundation & Structural Safety
A proper foundation should consider:
Turbine Weight
Rotor Thrust
Wind Gusts
Overturning Loads
Soil Conditions
Anchor Bolts
Drainage
Controller, Battery, Inverter & Cable
Wind Controller
A compatible wind controller is required to manage turbine output,
battery charging and protection functions.
Dump Load
Depending on controller design, a dump load may be required to safely absorb excess energy.
48V System Current
At 1 kW and 48V, simplified current is approximately:
Correct cable size is important to reduce voltage drop and electrical losses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Storm-1 produce 1 kW all the time?
No. 1 kW is the rated power. Actual output changes with wind speed.
What is the start wind speed?
The listed start wind speed is approximately 2.5 m/s.
At what wind speed is rated power reached?
The listed rated wind speed is 10 m/s.
Can it work with solar panels?
Yes. It can be used in a properly designed solar-wind hybrid system.
Can it be installed on a roof?
Possibly, but roof structure, local wind conditions and turbulence should be checked first.
Can it generate at night?
Yes. Wind turbines can generate day or night whenever sufficient wind is available.
Is the tower included?
No, unless specifically mentioned in the quotation.
Technical Information to Confirm Before Final Order
For a more complete engineering assessment, the following manufacturer information
should also be confirmed where available:
Rated Rotor RPM
Maximum Rotor RPM
Generator Efficiency
Noise Level
IP Rating
Controller Model
Certification
Warranty
Tower-Top Loads
Actual energy production depends on site-specific wind conditions,
tower height, local terrain, obstacles, turbulence, air density,
electrical losses and installation quality. Rated power does not represent continuous power output.
