LOW VISUAL IMPACTKingspan turbines are well suited to rural domestic, farming
and agricultural applications and are available with a variety
of tower heights. Installing on our 9m, 11m or 15m towers will
in most cases eliminate the need for an environmental impact
assessment which is often required for wind turbines over
20m in height or turbines with a large swept area.
Please note: these figures are given as a reference guide only – turbine performance is site specific and the Kingspan Wind Accredited Installer will be able to advise you on your specific site requirements and performance estimates. Kingspan Wind turbine performance data is independently tested and verified. Always check with your supplier or manufacturer to present the independently certified data.

KW6 G-CONNECT (G83 system)Grid capacity in many regions of the UK can be restrictive for consumers wishing to install
renewable technologies. With this problem becoming more commonplace, Kingspan Wind
has developed, tested and gained DNO approval for our new KW6 G-Connect G83 system
which allows consumers to install our 6kW wind turbine to single phase connections
without the need for network approval.
The KW6 G-Connect system connects 3.68kW to the national grid whilst diverting the
additional 2.32kW of power to an off-grid source. The off-grid source can be selected
specifically to each consumers requirement’s.
› MCS CERTIFIED AND ELIGIBLE FOR FEED-IN-TARIFFS
› 6KW OF METERED GENERATION
› ADVANCED CONTROL SYSTEM OFFERS FULL ON-SITE USAGE
› FURTHER REDUCES THE NEED FOR FOSSIL FUELS
› ELIMINATES THE EXPENSE OF A GRID CONNECTION APPLICATION
The entire 6kW is metered, approved and allows for full generation of the KW6 to be
utilised on site, creating a ‘total eco solution’ for customers across the whole of the UK.
The KW6 G-Connect allows power generated to be utilised on site for multiple uses
including hot water production. Incorporate the Tribune ECOCYL hot water storage
cylinder for the perfect solution.
