Primus 1-ARBM-15, AIR Breeze wind turbine for marine environments, 250 Watt, internal regulator, marine grade
Primus AIR Breeze
$1,665.01
The Primus AIR-series of small wind turbines has been around since 1995, with over 150,000 installed since! Theirs is a proven product, for a reasonable price.
The AIR Breeze produces best at low to moderate wind speeds and can work in a marine (salt spray) environment. For a high-wind environment the AIR X Marine or AIR Silent-X could be a better choice. Peak-power output is 250 Watt, and there are versions for 12/24/48 Volt battery-charging applications in coastal, desert or Arctic environments. A small wind turbine can also be a great addition to an off-grid system, to provide energy during those dark (but windy) winter days. It delivers the energy you need for communications, offshore structures, sailing or remote monitoring, to name a few. With a build-in charge controller, the AIR Breeze provides energy quietly and efficiently. The AIR Breeze is corrosion resistant, covered in aircraft quality paint with a marine grade O-ring seal and stainless steel fasteners, ensuring durability in challenging conditions. These are the official type codes:
Primus 1-ARBM-15-12: 12 Volt AIR Breeze
Primus 1-ARBM-15-24: 24 Volt AIR Breeze
Primus 1-ARBM-15-48: 48 Volt AIR Breeze
The AIR Breeze includes a stop-switch.
Be sure to check out the Primus Webinars to learn more about installation, wind resources, turbine placement etc.

Turbine Selection Matrix
| Low to Moderate Wind Speeds | High Wind Speeds | Very High Wind Speeds | |
|---|---|---|---|
| under 5.5 m/s (12 mph) average December wind speeds | 5.5 – 7 m/s (12 – 15 mph) average December wind speeds | Over 7 m/s (15 mph) average December wind speeds | |
| Coastal Use | AIR Breeze | AIR X Marine, AIR Silent X | AIR X Marine, AIR Silent X, with TriStar 45 and TL-100 diversion load |
| Inland Use | AIR 40 | AIR 30 | AIR 30 with TriStar 45 and TL-100 diversion load |
The marine-type turbines (AIR Breeze, AIR X Marine, and AIR Silent X) can of course also be used at inland sites. They are just a more corrosion-resistant version of the inland wind turbines.
