Windation Promises Bird-Free Rooftop Wind Energy

Windation Energy Systems has developed an urban-wind rooftop turbine that is described as “permit-ready” and “bird safe,” Windation’s 5 kW turbine resembles a commercial AC unit and leverages a proprietary vacuum system to amplify wind speed and boost energy output. 

Windation’s turbine is a ducted wind system that resembles a  commercial air conditioning unit.  Each Windation unit measures 9×9x10 feet and weighs roughly 2,200 lbs. This conventional size, shape, and weight enable Windation’s wind systems to meet established permitting and siting codes for rooftop appliances and uses the same method of installation.

By internally housing the rotating blades and generator, the threat to birds and other wildlife is eliminated.  In fact a number of safety, maintenance and other advantages result form the enclosed design, including minimizing noise, vibration, and aesthetics concerns.
