Specification

The SWIFT Wind Energy System™ is installed as a complete working system, which includes the SWIFT™ turbine, mounting structure and brackets, all electronic controls and wiring connections. The system works by quietly and efficiently capturing energy from the wind and by means of a unique rotor design and control sequence, this is converted into usable electricity.
