The Whisper 100 has been updated for 2005 with new features and added flexibility for your renewable energy system. Now, any Whisper 100 can have its voltage changed, 12-48V DC, within a few minutes in the field. The Whisper 100 is designed to operate in a site with medium to high wind speed averages of 12 mph, 5.4 m/s, and greater. The 100 provides 100+ kWh per month, 3.4 kWh per day, in a 12 mph average wind.
In addition to its patented smooth acting side furling design, the Whisper 100 has a number of new features that make it ideal for any new or existing photovoltaic system.
A new four bearing spindle for a smoother operation and longer life.
An upgraded Yaw shaft that more efficiently delivers current to your batteries.
