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.
