Whisper 100 provides dependable energy for
remote homes, telecommunications sites and rural
applications in moderate to extreme environments.
Reliable operation by thousands of customers
makes Whisper 100 the top selling small wind
turbine in its class. Assuming a 12 mph (5.4 m/s)
average wind, a Whisper 100 will produce 100
kWh per month.

Average Household Electricity Consumption
Whisper systems combine well with
photovoltaic solar panels to balance out
fluctuating solar and wind resources.
Generally, winter months provide more
wind and less sunlight, while summer
months provide more sunlight but less
wind. A hybrid system using a Whisper
wind generator provides year-round
energy production.

The versatile Whisper 200 powers applications
from remote homes to water pumping. Get the
most out of the wind with a larger swept area. The
Whisper 200’s 9-foot (2.7 m) blade has almost
twice the swept area of the Whisper 100, yielding
twice the energy. A high voltage model is available
for transmission over long distances.

Will Wind Work For You?
1
Prevailing wind
The most important factors in deciding whether a Whisper wind system is
right for you are wind resources and
proper siting. Ask yourself the following
questions:
2
20 ft (6 m)
3
• Do I have enough wind – at least 9
mph (4 m/s) average?
• Do zoning laws allow the use of towers?
• Do I have enough land – 1/2 acre
(0.2 hectare) or more?
A properly sited Whisper wind generator must
be placed 20 ft (6 m) above any surrounding
object within a 250 ft (76 m) radius.
Harness the
power of wind.
Towers
Designed specifically for the Whisper
100 and 200, economical guyed tower
kits install in as little as four hours. All
hardware is included (pipe and anchors
are available from your local hardware
store or Whisper dealer). Other tower
options are available, such as lattice towers. Learn more at www.windenergy.com.
