Small Wind

Integrated Wind and Solar Solutions

IX Energy has partnered with leading small wind providers to offer an integrated wind and solar solution.

IX Energy has chosen Savonius turbines as our primary wind technology, however, we work with the client to customize a solution that best fits the facility. Savonius turbines in their most basic form are two or three scoops arrayed to create drag. If you looked at one from above, it would have an "S" shaped cross section.

IX Energy favors Savonius vertical shaft wind turbines because they are:

• Quiet compared to the horizontal shaft, making them perfect for mixed use commercial or government areas.
• The propeller type is more visible to birds and bats than traditional "fan style" turbines.
• The simplicity of design, ease of installation, and lower maintenance costs.
