SouthWest Windpower
Southwest Windpower turbines bring compact, reliable wind energy to homes, cabins, farms, and remote sites where solar alone isn’t enough. Designed for low-to-moderate wind regimes, the Southwest Windpower collection at The Solar Shop provides quiet, low-maintenance generation that complements PV arrays and battery banks well. This is a great option when you need overnight or cloudy-day power from wind as well as sun.
Built with practical, field-proven engineering, Southwest Windpower units feel rugged yet approachable. Corrosion-resistant finishes, passive overspeed protection, and simple tower & mounting options make installation and service straightforward. Their best uses are hybrid off-grid systems, remote communications sites, cabins, farms, and any setup where adding small wind turbines increases uptime and reduces diesel or grid draw. You can pair them with batteries & accessories and appropriate inverter systems for a complete solution.

FAQs
Q: What is Southwest Windpower best for?
A: Small-site, low-to-moderate wind installations that need steady night/day generation.
Q: Can I pair these turbines with solar?
A: Yes. Small wind and PV hybrid systems increase availability and reduce fuel/grid use.
Q: Do small wind turbines need a lot of maintenance?
A: No. Most small turbines need annual checks and occasional lubrication/inspection.
Q: Will a small turbine power my whole house
A: It depends on wind resource and turbine size; it is often best as a supplement to solar + batteries.
Q: Do I need a special tower for Southwest Windpower turbines?
A: You’ll typically mount it on a dedicated pole or tower sized to the turbine and site.
