Rutland 1200

The Rutland 1200 Windcharger, designed and made by Marlec in the United Kingdom, is a small wind turbine designed for the marine market. It produces 290W at 11 m/s (21.5 knots) wind speed, and has a maximum output of 480W at 15 m/s (29 knots). An MPPT  charge controller is included. This wind turbine is available for 12 and 24 Volt battery charging.

The Rutland 1200 Windcharger works great to generate power on board for marine use. It was designed to withstand a salt-water marine environment. This is also a good choice to power equipment at remote sites, or for an off-grid cabin. The blade profile was especially designed to be nearly silent across the entire range of wind speeds.

Marlec Engineering has been around since 1987 (!!), and has sold over 100,000 wind turbines since then. Their wind turbines are manufactured in-house.
