    Will it live up to it's previous claims of 22,00 kwhs @ 5.75m/s as seen here - (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8139373.stm ) figures which are backed/endorsed and promoted on their own website, by Eoltec themselves...and some installers.

    Or will the MCS figures show a completely different story....:wink:

    Taken from :http://scoraigwind.co.uk/?p=562

    The BJRE Eoltec Scirocco 6kW wind turbine has been certified as having a Reference Annual Energy Production (RAE) of 9881 kWh per annum in a mean annual windspeed of 5 metres/second. This performance is over 10% higher than its nearest rival, and over 12.5% higher than the next nearest, according to RAE ratings published on their websites.

    (Note from Hugh – the Evance turbine is rated to produce 8780 kWh/year in a 5 m/s average. The Eoltec Scirocco makes 12.5% higher than this figure. Eoltec do not reveal what their energy production would be at other mean windspeeds. The “nearest rival” is most likely the Proven 11 which does not as yet have MCS certification.


    Makes Eoltec "claimed" figure of 22,000 kwhs @ 5.75m/s now look very silly indeed.... :shamed:
