Whisper 500 (3.2 KW)
The most popular bulk power supply small wind turbine in the world. A single Whisper 500 in a good windy area is enough to power a cluster of homes or a small sea side resort.
A number of them coupled together (hundreds of Whisper 500 can be connected in parallel) can electrify an island community of 5000 persons or 900 small houses.
