EcoInnovation's Smart 600 wind turbine. 480 Watt machine at 10m/s (700 Watts maximum), independently tested performance. A Chinese body with a Smart Drive fitted by the experts at EcoInnovation. This Smart Drive uses the all new high strength magnetic Smart Drive band. This way you benefit from Chinese mass production of the low tech parts, and the top performance of the new cog-free high power Smart Drive made in New Zealand.

This turbine is fitted with a 2 stage load-stepper that connects the generator halves in series at low speed and parallel at high speed ensuring excellent low wind performance and good top end performance in stronger winds. The generator fitted to this turbine is manufactured in NZ, Australia, Thailand and the USA so parts are widely available.

The NEW Smart 600 replaces our 2 previous wind machines the Smart 500 and 800. These machines have been tested for well over 3 years and have performed well in the field. The Smart 600 is the same machine with a number of improvements.  A cost effective turbine that you will find hard to beat on price, performance and ease of maintenance. NZ only customers.
