When you harvest your own wind power with the Strand Windjammer or the Strand Slowjammer, you get to turn the existing status quo on its head! In this new set-up, the electrical Grid around you becomes your emergency back up. Strand Energy supplies your own, renewable, plug-in power plant that is affordable to buy, easy to install and very rewarding to own. By taking control of your energy source you have created a new type of freedom and reducing your carbon footprint has never been so simple. Let us show you how...
KwH vs. Capacity Factor
The difference between a renewable's nameplate power output (it's kilowatt hours) and its actual capacity factor (the percentage of time it produces that power) is a little-discussed feature of most wind turbines.
The Facts About Capacity
We understand that some manufacturer's shrewd omission of this detail can be misleading. We also believe that it serves to weaken the reputation of trustworthy turbine providers.
How Much Wind...
With the Strand Slowjammer, we show the corresponding wind speed and the number of 100-watt bulbs it would light, and remember 100 watts is 100 watts whether it is powering a light bulb or part of the total wattage of a computer or appliance.
