We Deliver Exceptional Products and Services Around the World

PERFORMANCE

Large rotor diameters ensure high efficiency in light to moderate wind speeds. The brushless, permanent magnet alternators used on all Soma machines are designed to produce a power curve that matches the output of the 2 bladed rotor while operating at optimal tip speed ratios.

FEATHERING 
MECHANISM

The tilt back action relieves pressure on the wind generator and tower in strong winds. This is a fail-safe design with mechanical simplicity. A hydraulic dampener limits the feathering action in gusty wind conditions.

CHARGE
CONTROLLER

Soma wind turbine is supplied complete with a voltage regulated charge controller and dump load. If using wind turbine to charge batteries, excess power is burnt off as heat when the batteries are fully charged. The Soma 1Kw features a tapered charge regulator which progressively reduces the supply of current to the battery as it reaches full charge. By adjusting the control dial the upper voltage can be reset to enable equalization charging.
