African Wind Power

African Wind Power (AWP) manufactures a range of turbines based on the 'Heavy Metal School' philosophy - long lasting heavily built machines with large diameter, low RPM rotors that capture maximum energy starting in low wind speeds. The AWP 3.6 made a name for itself from the 3.6 meter diameter rotor's quiet performance, and huge energy delivery in low and moderate winds which other small diameter, high RPM machines ignore. This machine has been improved and is now the AWP 3.7 (3.7 meter diameter rotor). Machines with rotor diameters of 2.4, 5.4 and 7.2 meters are under development. AWP also produces tilt up guyed Tower kits up to 26 meters in height suitable for the AWP3.7 in African (and similar) conditions.
