VEVOR 500W Wind Turbine Generator, 12V Wind Turbine Kit, 5-Blade Wind Power Generator with MPPT Controller, Adjustable Windward Direction & 2.5m/s Start Wind Speed, Suitable for Home, Farm, RVs, Boats

We live in Iowa where there is a lot of wind. Added this to our garden solar array to run some lights and irrigation controller. Works well and does what it claims.I have 2 complaints.First complaint is mounting. They provide a collar that goes on the top of "a pipe." Unfortunately, that pipe isn't something you can just order. Nobody provides it and the dimensions are not clear. Finally found the right diameter at Lowe's in the electrical section after browsing several with collar in hand. I believe it was a 1.25" threaded steel pipe. $70 for 10 feet. They put 2 screw holes in the upper part of the collar to attach the turbine, but didn't put any in the bottom half to secure it to the pipe. They expect you to weld it on. Two threaded holes on the bottom would have been very handy and wouldn't require a weld joint. So far, we're getting lucky with it just sitting on the pipe - hasn't blown off yet in 30 mph gusts.My second complaint is the lack of information about the 3 wires that come out of it. Turbines are AC power, so they have 3 wires. You'd think there would be a Load, Neutral and Ground, but it doesn't seem to matter - it works no matter how they are connected.

Buy this item, you will not regret it. I do not expect the "solar"system will always be available as the volcano eruptions will cover the sky for months

Well made great price for the turbine

Tenia una turbina desde hace unos 8 años, y compre esta para reemplazarla. Comenzó a funcionar muy bien.

The media could not be loaded. The windmill works quite well if we have a constant 40 or above wind . I have charged two 12 volt batteries and made a contraption that charges my solar charger generator seems pretty good.

After installing unit I had trouble with the controller drawing 10 amps off the batteries and not charging. I contacted there tech support, opened a ticket and all I got was a repeat of the installation manual that has nothing to do with the problem. After all the time installing you can’t really send it back. I just want it to work!!!

Live on the lake where the wind is pretty constant. 15 mph wind generates about 1-2 watts. Had a storm with 45mph winds and it generated about 25-30watts. Vevor customer support just said I needed more wind velocity, but unless you’re in a hurricane, this unit isn’t going to help.

It takes a good bit of wind to get this thing spinning. Today we had 20mph gusts and its the first time I observed it working. I would be fine with this, but here's the thing. The charge controller draws power, so over the last week I watched my system with 2 12v lifepo battery's drop from 13.8 to 13.4 volts. This thing was cheap so I gambled on it but it looks like I lost. Unless you live somewhere with constant wind it will use more power than it produces. I'm gonna get a battery disconnect and shut it off unless there's a big wind storm coming since now I have it.
