Off-grid Hugh Piggott wind turbine installation in Oxfordshire

Contact us

Back in the winter we installed a 3m diameter Hugh Piggott wind turbine that we made on a course a few years ago. It was in a lovely spot in Oxfordshire at an off grid farm.

Existing system:

  • 48V 1026Ah battery bank
  • 12.5kW solar PV
  • 2 x SMA sunny boy inverters

They were struggling for power in the low-light months so contacted us asking for our help with a wind turbine. They sourced the tower and we provided and installed the turbine and electrical system:

  • 3m 800W 48V Hugh Piggott wind turbine
  • Break switch, rectifier, master fuse
  • Charge controller w/ dump load
  • Shunt & SMA interface
