Wind Energy

Unsurprisingly, Newfoundland and Labrador has the best wind resource in North America, making our province a great candidate for wind energy generation! Wind energy is well-established worldwide as major source of utility-scale power, but wind turbines are also ideal for home, cottage, marine, industrial and commercial applications. When combined with solar energy, wind energy provides an additional energy source for off-grid applications during the winter months when days are shorter, as this is when wind speeds typically increase. Depending on your location and your municipality’s by-laws, wind energy can help you offset or eliminate monthly power bills under net-metering. Wind turbines come in a variety of sizes and models to suit any wind regime, landscape and climate.

At SW Energy we are happy to offer small and medium scale wind turbines, from 1 kW models for your RV or cabin, to 100 kW models—the maximum currently allowed under net-metering legislation. Modern wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions, and we will make sure you find the right model to suit your needs. We offer a full product line of wind turbines as well as manufactured tower systems and accessories, and we can manage the full installation process for you. SW Energy can prepare a preliminary design and quotation based on minimal information to get you started. To enquire about products and/or prices please call SW Energy at (709) 466-5411, email sales@solarwindsenergy.com or stop by our office at 9 Myers Avenue, Clarenville, NL.
