Wind is a free, sustainable, renewable resource that is both environmentally safe and economically sound. These are important aspects to consider, especially when it comes to one's power source. This is what gives RV wind powered generators a great advantage over any other generator. Because the wind produces kinetic energy to create electricity, there is no harmful environmental bi-product produced, which means no pollution.
There are also great incentives like lower utility bills and increased savings. The next factor is that wind is a renewable energy source, which means that it will not run out like other sources such as oil and coal. With all these advantages and the knowledge of a personal contribution to saving the environment, using just a small amount of wind power through wind generators can greatly help.
Imagine being in the middle of nowhere and not having a fully charged battery. Flat batteries (found in standard RVs) are an inconvenience, and at worst a disaster, if safety or essential equipment is without power. Furthermore, the time and cost of charging and replacing batteries can be substantial. Constantly run down batteries have short lives, and an engine idling to charge them suffers much wear and tear, not to mention the exhaust and noise.

Although the Sun Tracker is the Best option for power for your RV or remote locations. We recommend that you have a "Spare" source of power available in the event of a week of rain, your camping under a large tree for an extended period of time. Many things can require an alternative source of power. One of those alternative sources of power could be a wind generator. We carry a wide variety of wind generators. If you're looking for a wind generator not listed here please contact us and we will do what we can to accommodate you.

Wind is caused by the heating of the earth's surface by the sun. The heating of the surface is, however, uneven as time of day, water surfaces and cloud cover cause some areas to heat less quickly. As the heat rises it creates a low pressure area and air from adjacent high pressure areas flows toward this low pressure area thereby creating wind. Wind, like solar energy, is somewhat seasonal thus accurate overall wind measurement is useful.

It is generally recognized that an average annual wind speed of more than 18 km/h (5 m/s) is the required minimum for a stand alone wind-based system to be considered viable. For this reason the East and West coasts of North America, the far north and southern prairies offer the most promise for a primary wind power application. Outside of these areas wind turbines best complement solar systems or conventionally fueled generators to reduce fuel consumption in hybrid applications.
