Use the wind to generate your own clean power. The wind spins the blades of a turbine and a generator in the turbine creates electricity – it’s just that simple! We offer both Grid Tied and Off Grid wind solutions, with more to be available soon! See our exciting product offerings below.

Bergey XL 1 Wind Turbine
Bergey Windpower's newest product is the 1,000 Watt BWC XL.1. The BWC XL.1 is currently available only as a 24 VDC battery-charging system.
With a rotor diameter of 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) and a peak output of approximately 1,300 watts the XL.1 is intended for the off-grid home market.
The XL.1 combines a number of advanced technical features, including a completely new airfoil, to provide the highest efficiency yet achieved in a small wind turbine at a cost of energy - 10% lower than the current price leader. And, the XL.1 carries the industry-leading Bergey 5-year warranty.
The XL.1 includes the BWC PowerCenter controller which controls battery charging, has a low-end boost for superior low wind speed performance, low-mode rotor idling when the batteries are full, an electrical braking system, and even includes a 30 A controller for the solar modules that are often a part of a complete hybrid system. The PowerCenter allows an auxiliary or dump load to be connected to utilize excess wind (and/or solar) power after the batteries are fully charged.
Low wind speed performance is greatly enhanced by a low-end-boost circuit that optimally loads the wind turbine down to wind speeds as low as 5.6 mph (2.5 m/s). Combined with the new blade system, this circuitry allows the XL.1 to produce useful power more than 6,000 hours a year at a typical site. For reference, a typical solar system produces power 3,500 hours a year at a typical site.
The XL.1 is offered with a tubular Tilt-up tower in heights from 18 m (60 ft) to 29 m (100 ft). These kits will be easy to install and will offer customers a complete ready to install kit.
Bergey 10kW BWC Excel Wind Turbine
The BWC EXCEL is a modern 6.7 meter (22 ft) diameter, 10,000W wind turbine designed for high reliability, low maintenance, and automatic operation in adverse weather conditions. It is available in two configurations: battery charging and grid-connected. The BWC Excel is a ruggedly built turbine that comes with the longest warranty (5 years) in the industry.
Battery charging BWC EXCEL can be supplied with outputs of 48, 120 or 240 VDC. They are well suited for large rural homes, remote villages and facilities, eco-tourism resorts, and larger telecommunications sites.
Connected to the grid, the BWC EXCEL can provide most of the electricity for an average total electric home at moderate wind sites. The all new GridTek 10 power processor (inverter) is the most advanced in the industry and it carries a full UL certification to the latest utility standards.
The BWC EXCEL is most often installed on a guyed lattice tower, which is available in heights of 18 m (60 ft.) to 43 m (140 ft.). Tilt-up versions of these towers are available for sites without crane access. Non-guyed lattice type towers and monopoles (tapered tubular) towers are also available to heights of 37 m (120 ft). Customers may also supply their own towers if they follow BWC technical requirements for Excel towers. The BWC EXCEL was introduced in 1983 and it has been installed at over 900 sites around the world.
Please contact us for pricing and a site assessment, the BWC EXCEL is not an off-the-shelf product and requires considerable know-how and expertise to properly setup and install.
