How Hush Wind Power Works

Unfortunately Hush Wind Power is currently unavailable as a product. We will let you know when they are back up and manufacturing.

Efficient!

  • The 1.5m turbine will potentially generate three times the amount of kilowatt-hours annually
    than that of an equivalent sized residential Solar PV installation

  • The power output of the 1.5m turbine is rated at 1.65kW. This rating is calculated at a
    constant wind speed of 15m/s, or just over 50km/h.

  • Can produce between 7 to 8 kilowatt hours per day which can be consumed in the home or
    exported to the grid.

  • The Hush Wind Power turbine will begin to produce power in as little as 2m/s wind – that’s
    a slight breeze capable of rustling leaves on the Beaufort Scale used to calculate wind
    strengths!

Economical!

  • An Australian household with electric appliances consumes on average up to 20kWh of
    electricity per day, at a cost of around $1,100 per year (and set to climb!).

  • Protect against the impact of future power price increases - with optimal wind strengths at
    just 25% of the time, average grid consumption could be offset up to 42%!

  • Hush 1.5m turbines qualify for the new Federal Government Solar Credits scheme. You will
    be eligible for Renewable Energy Certificates, set to be worth $3,700 over 5 years, with a
    further 15 RECs set to be claimable every 5 years until 2030.*

  • Opportunity to sell excess power back to the electrical retailer. Surplus power may be
    purchased at 1:1 tariff rate, or if you’re in the ACT, all power your turbine generates is
    purchasable by the retailer at $0.50 per kWh.**

  • 5 year product warranty and 2 year installation warranty.

Environmentally Friendly!

  • Near silent operation as proven by RMIT wind tunnel testing.

  • Hush’s field tested prototypes have demonstrated a complete lack of noise (and vibration) in
    their operation.

  • Potentially huge reductions in CO2 emissions.

  • Safe for birds – the Hush Wind Power turbine presents as a solid object to birds in flight,
    preventing them from accidentally flying into the rotating blades.

  • Hush turbines are an ideal solution for various government sponsored green energy
    initiatives.
