KESTREL

Kestrel, a Proudly South African product, had developed a reputation across the globe for providing leading edge small wind turbine alternative energy solutions.
Kestrel Renewable Solutions is a subsidiary of Eveready (Pty) Ltd, South Africa’s icon battery manufacturer brand with a proud 70 year old history of providing portable power solutions in South Africa.
The combination of the Kestrel Renewable Solutions technology and Eveready’s ISO certified manufacturing and technical expertise has achieved recognition as Proudly South African Innovator of the Year and Best Exporter.
Eveready Kestrel provides small wind turbine solutions in the 600w, 800w, 1kW and 3kW range. Its robust construction and unique engineering makes it the product of choice for telecommunications, off grid, grid connect and water pumping solutions.

A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is then converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator.

Your choices - Wind and Solar energy -

Let's compare

So you want to install some renewable energy for your business or home and have come to the crossroad as to which is better, wind power or solar power?
Both wind power and solar power have been around for a long time now and both renewable energy sources have successfully been used to produce clean electricity for home and commercial users. But which renewable energy source is the best for you ?

Criteria	Wind Energy	Solar Energy	Description
Working hours per day	24 hours	±5 hours
Risk of theft/vandalism	Low	High	Solar panels are easier access than wind turbines
Effect of dirt	Low	High	When solar panels get dirty it loses some of its performance
Effect of snow	Low	High	The output of a wind turbine i not effected by snow
Temperature effect	Not effected by temperature	High	As the panel temperature increases, the electricity output reduces.
Footprint	Low	High	A 1000w solar panel would have a footprint of 7.3 sq.m whereas a 1000w wind turbine would have a footprint of 1 sq.m
Locally manufactured	Yes	No	Kestrel wind turbines are manufactured in Port Elizabeth

• Kestrel e230i (800W) The e230i is a distinctive 3 blade turbine that has a low start up torque, increasing its efficiency. The axial flux permanent magnet brushless alternator is powered by an optimised three blade rotor, with patented pitch control. The e230i maintains rated output in excess wind speeds, optimising the potential power output and energy yield.
  
  
  
  
• Kestrel e300i (1kW) The e300i is the next generation of small wind turbine. It is a low starting machine allowing it to generate electricity at relatively low wind speeds. The high performance three blade rotor with pitch control powers a twin axial flux permanent magnet brushless alternator, with good heat management. The e300i maintains its rated output in excess wind speeds, optimising the potential power output and energy yield. More usable power generated, stored and used. The e300i powers telecoms sites around the world .
• Kestrel e160 (600W) The e160i is compact and virtually silent as it generates energy. Rotation speed is controlled by rotor turbulence, which accounts for the 6 blade design and its quiet efficiency that can save fuel costs and replaces noisy generators. The e160i is installed around the world powering public lighting, railway switching and radio towers as well as educating children.
  
  
  
• Kestrel e400i (3kW) The new e400i is the next level in small wind turbines. By optimising renewable power output and performance, the efficiency of the e400i makes it a valuable asset for fulfilling energy requirements.

[Event Announcement and Call for papers] 7th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems – SDEWES   [news]

The 7^th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems – SDEWES Conference, to be held in Ohrid in 2012, is dedicated to the improvement and dissemination of knowledge on methods, policies and technologies for increasing the sustainability of development by de-coupling growth from natural resources and replacing them with knowledge based economy, taking into account its economic, environmental and social pillars, as well as methods for assessing and measuring sustainability of development, regarding energy, transport, water, environment and food production systems and their many combinations. Sustainability being also a perfect field for interdisciplinary and multi-cultural evaluation of complex system, the SDEWES Conference has during the first decade of the 21^st century become a significant venue for researchers in those areas to meet, and originate, discuss, share, and disseminate new ideas.

“...We, the representatives of sustainability science:-
URGE
1. Governments and investors to maximize the benefits to all three of the pillars of sustainable development which arise from sustainable energy deployment, particularly distributed generation, in the provision of “green growth”, environmental protection and the social advantage of substantial local job creation, both temporary and permanent, from the high multiplier of jobs per unit of RE generation
...
AND CALL UPON
All of the worlds governments to both access the available sources of scientific knowledge and technological development and ensure that adequate resources are provided for the rapid expansion into new and further research and development in the science of sustainability and its application....“

  PV modules produced by Evergreen Solar are distinctive in their appearance because they incorporate a proprietary crystalline silicon technology known as String Ribbon. In the String Ribbon technique, two high-temperature strings are pulled vertically through a shallow silicon melt, and the molten silicon spans and freezes between the strings. The process is continuous: long strings are unwound from spools; the melt is replenished; and the silicon ribbon is cut to length for further processing, without interrupting growth.
• Evergreen ES-A modules utilize three parallel strings of 38 cells in series giving an 18-volt peak power voltage which allows fewer strings in grid-tie systems and also provides optimum voltage for battery charging with conventional as well as MPPT charge controllers. They have Multi-Contact MC4 locking connectors, PV Wire, and black anodized frames. Made in USA.
• Evergreen modules are ETL listed to UL 1703 for U.S. and Canada. Modules have a 10-year 90% power warranty, 25-year 80% power warranty.
