BERGEY XL1 WIND GENERATOR  and Diversion Load available below.

NOW with upgraded Stainless Steel Structure

The XL.1 carries the exclusive, industry-leading, Bergey 5-year warranty.

The XL.1 includes the BWC PowerCenter controller which controls battery charging, provides a common interconnection point for all the DC (direct current) components, and even includes a 30 A controller for the solar modules that are often a part of a complete hybrid system. The PowerCenter allows an auxiliary or "dump" load to be connected to utilize excess wind (and/or solar) power after the batteries are fully charged.

The XL.1 is an up-wind, horizontal-axis, three- bladed turbine.  The blades are pultruded fiberglass, a material that is over ten times stronger than the injection- molded plastic used on most small wind turbines. Pultrusions have a breaking strength exceeding 100,000 psi, which is twice as strong as normal steel.  "Just about any blade material will hold up in light to moderate winds.  But, when the storms come, weak blades can put the whole system at risk."  And the new BWC SH3045 airfoil makes the XL.1's blade probably the most efficient ever on a small wind turbine.

Low wind speed performance is greatly enhanced by a low-end-boost circuit that optimally loads the wind turbine down to wind speeds as low as 5.6 mph (2.5 m/s). Combined with the new blade system, this circuitry allows the XL.1 to produce useful power more than 6,000 hours a year at a typical site. For reference, a typical solar system produces power 3,500 hours a year at a typical site.

Bergey designed an oversized alternator that slows the rotor down and makes the turbine very quiet.

Overspeed protection is provided by the proven BWC AutoFurl®  passive sideways furling system.
