In our experience, a mast of 10 to 12 m height, is sufficient for a mini and micro wind energy plant up to 1kW. The AeroCraft mast consists of modular elements. The mast is braced via stays, it is climbable and the foot unit is foldable.

Wind energy plants are ideal for locations that have no access to public electricity. Contrary to photovoltaic systems, where the cost per watt is more or less independent of the size of the unit, the cost per watt with wind energy plants decreases significantly, the bigger the unit. The cost of the peripheral technology such as electronics, cabling, batteries and mechanics are comparable. The mast of a wind energy plant is no more expensive than frame and mounting elements of photovoltaic units.

There has been a tremendous increase in the reliability of wind energy plants, including the mini and micro versions. Running costs are comparable.
