The available output information for the Westwind series is limited to a 17m/s so to produce a more complete graph we have extrapolated the last few values.  Blade diameter is an important thing to look at when comparing turbines, since it affects how much power can be captured from the wind. This turbine has a blade diameter of 6.20 metres. How windy? If you are thinking of buying a Westwind 10kW, we'd advise measuring your wind resource first.
