Safety Potential hazards / risks related to operation of this product

There are some potential hazards during the operation (danger of proximity of the blades to objects, humans or wildlife), which can be prevented by using appropriate wiring and not letting the turbine run freely without connection to the battery.

Complementary technical systems Performance of this product is improved with another technology (eg. Cookstoves and Wind-blocking skirts)

A hybrid energy system, such as solar pv, is beneficial in the event of low wind. Bornay also recommends combining solar power with a wind turbine and having a battery bank to store energy.
