Cyclone 1kW wind turbine
Joliet 1kW wind turbines
The Cyclone 1kW wind turbine is an excellent entry level wind turbine for light domestic applications, ideally suited to battery charging or use in a hybrid configuration with solar modules.
The Cyclone 1kW wind turbine is a good choice for low power consumers, back up power requirements or DC power supply for remote applications.
Joliet wind turbines are supplied with an electronic controller system which conditions the power produced for battery storage or household supply through an inverter. Small wind turbines use a 'tail' to automatically position the turbine into the wind and 'stall' the blades in high winds to prevent damage to the turbine.
Small wind turbines offer up to 20kW and can be easily erected to operate effectively in most areas of the world. Approximately 60% of the Earth’s surface has enough wind for small turbines to generate electricity.

Tower options
The Cyclone
1kW wind turbine can be installed on a
sectional 8
meter free standing tower as shown to the right, or on a
6 meter guyed tower as in the picture above. The
guyed tower is designed for 'tilt up' installation with
a hinged base plate. Free standing towers require a
small crane for installation.
Inverter options
Most propriety 48v/220v inverters are compatible with this wind turbine. Joliet supply an 'off grid' inverter as standard with this wind turbine. This wind turbine is not recommended for connection to the local electricity grid.technical specifications...

Joliet 1kW Cyclone wind turbine
The instantaneous power production of this wind turbine is the actual power it produces at any one time. The power produced increases as wind speed increases. This wind turbine 'furls' away from the wind as wind speeds become too strong for power production. As the graph below shows, production drops off as maximum capacity is exceeded, slowing the wind turbine by turning away from the wind.
The average total annual output of a Joliet 1kW wind turbine is the power produced in kWh during 12 months at a fixed average wind speed. The example below shows the annual production for this turbine at a wind speed of six meters per second (around 21Kilometers per Hour). You can download a detailed table of power production at different wind speeds by clicking here.

installation...
Installing a Joliet wind turbine is not complicated, the installation process is carried out in three basic stages. The foundations depend on the tower type chosen and require a hole with a trench to carry power cables to the consumer. Foundation anchors to support the tower are supplied by Joliet and are set into the poured concrete base. Once set, the foundation is ready to receive the tower.
The assembly of the wind turbine is carried out on the ground. Once the turbine and tower sections are assembled the complete unit is raised to a vertical position (depending on tower type) and fixed to the foundation anchors.
The electrical connections can now be made linking the turbine to the controller, inverters or batteries and finally to the consumer.
ordering your wind turbine
Joliet 1kW wind turbines are usually available from stock. When you are ready to order your wind turbine please contact us with your requirements and shipping address. You will receive a detailed quotation indicating a delivery date, delivery cost and payment conditions. Please note that Joliet do not supply batteries which are readily available from local suppliers.
