The wind power generated by the system is to the power of 3 of the blade sizes. The current hybrid systems we saw have very small blade size which at most can only generate 200 W or even lower. Considering the most available wind speed is lower than the rated wind speed, you might only generate less than 100 W per hour for the wind. So this kind of system is so far just a toy instead of a wind power system. Q: How to decide if a system good for me or not? There are several factors to consider in choosing a right wind system. The first thing is to find out the average wind speed in your area. If your wind speed is lower than 4 meter per second (8.9mph), there is no need to look further since there is no system so far can generate fair amount of power at that wind speed. But if you wind speed is over 4 meter per second, you still need to ask a copy of the power curve of the system from the vendor. The power curve shows how much power the system will generate at various wind speed. So based on the average wind speed in your area, you will be able to know how much power the system will generate. There is a quite of bit systems or companies on the market do not provide the power curves or their nominal wind speeds which cause a big pitfall in the small wind market. Don't be fooled by the rated power provided by vendors but be sure to ask the rated wind speed for that power.  Q: Is braking system for speed control more reliable than the tail furling? The most reliable and cost effective speed control system for small wind is still tail furling since there is no electronic system involved in the controlling mechanism. The braking system normally is used for 3KW system or above. Using brake to control the systems under 3KW is rarely seen on the market since it's not cost effective. On the other hand, if a small system uses the braking system and selling price is low, you should have something to worry about since there is no justification between the low cost and high reliability for this complex braking system. The simpler the better is always right in designing products. So is the wind system. Q: Why the PowerMax products are right for me? The PowerMax wind generators are proven to work great for years. The system design is very effective. The systems have been installed in Europe, China for years. They are also appearing in the North American market since last year. Place a Bid!
