Roof Mounted
The use case for our Roof Mounted VAWT
Our Flag Turbines Roof-mounted Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) offer a practical solution for urban renewable energy generation, making them ideal for sustainability-focused buildings. Our turbines are designed to harness wind energy efficiently, even in turbulent conditions, common in cities. Flag Turbines ensures a compact, low-noise design allowing easy integration into rooftop spaces without disrupting the building’s structure or aesthetics. By generating clean energy on-site, Flag Turbines reduce reliance on the grid, lower carbon footprints, and contribute to meeting energy efficiency goals. The Flag Turbines approach to rooftop mounted energy not only supports environmental sustainability but also aligns with modern urban planning and green building practices.
Benefits of our Roof Mounted version
Space Efficiency
Flag Turbines are more compact and lower profile than traditional horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs), making this product well-suited for rooftop installations where space is limited.
We handle Lower Wind Speed
Our Roof Mounted turbines can operate efficiently at lower wind speeds, which is beneficial in urban environments where wind conditions may not be as strong or consistent as in open areas.
We like it quiet
Wind turbines are often associated with noise, but we have taken extra measures to ensure that our products are quiet and suitable for urban areas where noise pollution is a concern.
Start small, grow big
Flag Turbines Products can be easily scaled for different power needs, from small residential installations to larger setups for commercial buildings, providing flexibility in energy generation.
Stress resistant
Our Flag Turbines Roof Mounted Product operates at low stress on the mounting structure making them better suited for mounting on rooftops without requiring extensive reinforcement.
We like urban areas
The ability to function well in turbulent and variable wind conditions, which are common in cities due to the close proximity of buildings, makes our roof-mounted solution very effective in urban environments.
No Vibration
The absence of vibration in Flag Turbines Products leads to quieter operation, making us ideal for urban and residential areas where noise pollution is a concern. We reduce wear and tear on the turbine components and minimize the structural impact on the surrounding environment, allowing installations on rooftops and other sensitive locations.
Bird-Friendly
At Flag Turbines, we prioritize bird safety. Our turbines feature significantly slower rotational speeds (20-30 rpm) and an easy-to-see silhouette, compared to the much higher rotational speeds of traditional ‘propeller’ style turbines. Our innovative design nullifies collision risks.
We cover wind from any direction
Wind can come from any direction but our Roof Mounted turbine operates without the need to be continuously reoriented, which is a significant advantage in areas with variable wind directions, common in urban settings.
The looks do matter
Flag Turbines Roof Mounted Design has a lower profile and less visually obtrusive design, which is important for maintaining the aesthetic appeal of any building or residential area.
Easy access, easy maintenance
All components are closer to the ground or roof surface, making maintenance easier and safer.
Sustainable
Our turbines are carbon-negative from the get-go. We don’t use rare earth metals or advanced composite materials and our turbines are 100% recyclable.
