So who is left standing after 10 years of turmoil in the sector? Google just throwing up lots of old links.

Probably thinking about 5/6kw (previous 6kw).

Our neighbours have a proven, we have an evance. Both need regular maintenance which isn't too arduous DIY if you are mechanically sensible. Both still going at 10+ yrs. Seen plenty of both still spinning in the outer Hebrides.

Can you get planning as you already have a site of an existing turbine?]]> Reliable wind turbine manufacturers and installers in SW england https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17606&Focus=300620#Comment_300620 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17606&Focus=300620#Comment_300620 Mon, 06 Mar 2023 12:33:50 +0000 geoff_forwood
We installed a Proven 6KW wind turbine back around 2008-ish. Proven then went bust because of structural issues with the tower of their 35KW model which would have cost more to fix than the company could manage. So their products were then taken over by Kingspan and subsequently by a company called SD Wind. Our Proven WT6000 is now called the SD6.

I am now about to post a question on this board about replacing our wind turbine with Solar PV because of poor performance of the wind turbine due to site conditions (we expected about 10-12,000kWH per year but typically get around 4-5000kWH). On that basis I am considering selling the wind turbine if you are interested - not sure what the second hand wind turbine market looks like.]]> Reliable wind turbine manufacturers and installers in SW england https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17606&Focus=300632#Comment_300632 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17606&Focus=300632#Comment_300632 Tue, 07 Mar 2023 07:20:01 +0000 Gareth J
They occasionally pop up on here, for a guide price. Or indeed you could try them to sell through. I have no affiliation or experience dealing with them though. Not a recommendation.]]>
