Evance R9000

The World's most efficient small wind turbine

The R9000 5kW wind turbine has been engineered to ensure maximum energy yield bygenerating energy at low wind speeds, and by running continuously and safely at high wind speeds – the most efficient 5KW turbine available.

The R9000 delivers maximum energy yield

The R9000 starts generating energy at low wind speeds and is designed to run continuously at high wind speeds, so providing the maximum yield possible - giving you energy generation when the wind is blowing it’s strongest.

At low to moderate wind speeds the patented pitch system, Reactive Pitch™, holds the blades in the optimum position for capturing maximum energy from the wind. At high wind speeds the R9000’s Reactive Pitch™ mechanism automatically pitches the blades so it can regulate energy capture and blade speed. It therefore continues to capture energy – up to the full 5kW power rating.

The R9000 delivers you class leading performance - maximising the kilowatt hours of energy produced.

The R9000 gives great return on investment

By installing a small wind turbine you can benefit from reduced energy bills and carbon footprint. In the UK and other countries, you can also receive an income for generating renewable energy and exporting power to the national grid.

Owners of the Evance R9000 in the UK are eligible for Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs). This UK incentive scheme provides financial rewards for the generation of renewable energy – more information is available on the incentives page.

 An Evance R9000 wind turbine could generate an income from Feed-in Tariff and savings on energy bills of over £4,500 per year – for up to 20 years.

*Based on an average electricity consumption of 4,500kWh per year and the installation of an Evance R9000 5kW wind turbine, which can generate 13,186kWh per year with an annual wind speed of 6m/s.

The R9000 just keeps on running

We understand that minimal downtime is essential as you want your turbine working during a windy period.  Therefore the R9000 turbine and tower are designed to provide outstanding durability in the harshest of conditions - exceeding both the durability and reliability tests under the UK’s MCS certification. 

Over 900 installed throughout the UK and many other countries ... over 14 million operating hours in the field

The R9000 has low environmental impact

The turbine is generally sited at least 80m from a neighbouring property so there is minimal noise impact. On a windy day it can sound like the wind in the trees.

Customers are surprised at the low noise levels of the R9000.  

All small wind generators will create some noise, so in the UK, noise levels are measured to the standard set by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).  The R9000 fulfilled the noise criteria and all others to become fully accredited in July 2010.

A key design criteria of the R9000 wind turbine was the visual aesthetics of the system. The result is a modern and visually pleasing wind turbine which has a minimum visual impact on its surroundings - a distinct advantage for obtaining planning permission. 

The R9000 requires minimal maintenance

Both the wind turbine and the tower are designed to provide outstanding durability - a minimum design life of 20 years. With few moving parts, in particular no gearbox, the R9000’s maintenance is minimal.

Combining patented state-of-the- art technology and elegant design, the Evance R9000 belongs to the ‘next generation’ of small wind turbines, offering class leading quality, performance and reliability.
