In detail

Everything you need to know about the AIR 40

The AIR 40 is engineered for quieter, more efficient performance in moderate wind conditions. As the next generation of the world’s most popular small wind turbine — with over 180,000 units sold globally — it’s trusted for reliable off-grid power across a wide range of applications.

Its advanced microprocessor optimises battery charging and overall output, especially in lower wind speeds. The turbine also features a redesigned control system that reduces blade flutter and eliminates the typical buzzing sound found in many small wind generators.

By actively managing blade rotation and peak power tracking, the AIR 40 maximises performance while maintaining ultra-quiet operation — making it ideal for residential and light commercial use in off-grid settings.
