Stop Being Fooled by Specs! The Truth About Small Wind Turbine Actual Power Output

1. The Hard Truth: Rated Power ≠ Your Real Output

Most buyers make the mistake of looking only at Rated Power. In physics, wind speed determines a turbine’s power output through a cubic relationship.

• The Industry Trap: Manufacturers usually measure 1000W ratings at 12m/s or even 15m/s (strong gale force).
• The Reality: Most residential areas enjoy an average wind speed of only 3-5m/s.
• The Math: If wind speed drops to 4m/s (1/3 of the rated speed), the power output crashes to only 1/27 of the original promise.

Expert Tip: Ignore the peak number. Always demand the Power Curve graph before you pay.

2. The Game Changer: Cut-in Wind Speed

While Rated Power sets the “ceiling,” Cut-in Wind Speed dictates whether you generate any electricity at all.

Many cheap turbines spin aimlessly because their high internal resistance prevents power generation. Elege Energy solves this. We use high-density pure copper coils to push the cut-in speed down to 1.5m/s. While other turbines sit idle, Elege captures energy from the slightest breeze.
