Question 1

How much wind do I need on my site for a small wind turbine to make sense?

Accepted Answer

As a practical screening rule, sites with an average annual wind speed of roughly 5 m/s (11 mph) or more at hub height are worth a detailed study. Eocycle turbines start producing at low cut-in wind speeds and use tall towers (typically 30–36 m hub height) to reach cleaner, faster wind above ground clutter such as barns, silos and tree lines. Our engineers model your specific parcel with long-term wind data and your actual interval load profile before any commitment.

Question 2

How is a small wind turbine different from rooftop solar for a farm or plant?

Accepted Answer

Wind delivers a higher energy yield per square metre of land occupied and generates through the night, in winter and during overcast weather, which is when many agricultural and industrial loads peak. A turbine foundation and access pad occupy a very small footprint, leaving the surrounding land in production. Wind and solar profiles are complementary, which is why the EOX WS²+ combines both with battery storage under one AI-driven energy management system.

Question 3

What maintenance does an Eocycle turbine require?

Accepted Answer

Eocycle uses a direct-drive permanent magnet generator, so there is no gearbox and no gear oil to change. Scheduled service is typically an annual inspection, while the remote SCADA portal streams performance and alarm data continuously so that issues are diagnosed before they cause downtime. Fleet availability above 98% has been reported by operators in demanding climates.

Question 4

Who manages permitting, interconnection and construction?

Accepted Answer

Eocycle and its certified partner network deliver turnkey projects: wind and load assessment, incentive and financing guidance where available, permitting, utility interconnection studies, foundation and civil works, erection, commissioning, and long-term operations and maintenance under one accountable contract.

Question 5

What is the expected service life of an Eocycle wind turbine?

Accepted Answer

Eocycle turbines are engineered for a 30-year service life, which allows owners to model a stable, low levelised cost of electricity over three decades instead of exposure to volatile utility tariffs.
