Southwest Windpower Whisper 500 w/ Aurora Inverter Grid Tie Wind Generator
Serious power from a small wind turbine – the Whisper 500 in combination with Magnetek’s Wind Interface and Aurora Inverter synchronizes with the power in your home or office, eliminating batteries and creating enough energy to pay an average monthly electric bill. Completely redesigned in 2004, the Whisper 500 works in harsh, high wind environments with its two fiberglass reinforced blades and patented side furling design optimizing output at any wind speed. Assuming a 12 mph (5.4 m/s) wind, a Whisper 500 will produce as much as 500 kWh per month. Available May 2006.
