Formerly the Whisper
H80, the Whisper 200 has been updated
for 2005 with new features and added
flexibility for your renewable energy
system. Now, any Whisper 200 can have
its voltage changed, 12-48V DC, within a
few minutes in the field. The Whisper
200 is designed to operate in a site
with low to medium speed averages of 8
mph, 3.6 m/s, and greater. The 200
provides 200+ kWh per month, 3.4 kWh per
day, in a 12 mph average wind. The
Whisper 200 does produce more noise than
it’s 100 counterpart, but it does
produce almost twice the power. Click on

data report.
In addition to its patented smooth
acting side furling design, the Whisper
200 has a number of new features that
make it idea for any new or existing
photovotaic system.
 A
new four bearing spindle for a smoother
operation and longer life
An
upgraded Yaw shaft that more efficiently
delivers current to your batteries
New bronze bushing and larger diameter
furling pin for smoother furling action
New castings that allow easy access to
the stator for changing voltage

Included with every whisper is
our new Whisper Controller.
Unlike many of our competitors,
the Whisper controller includes
a diversion load to ensure quiet
safe operation of your wind
turbine when the batteries are
charged.
It installs in minutes and it
protects both your wind turbine
and battery. The Whisper
controller fits easily inside
your battery room. Add the
optional LCD display and you
will instantly receive real time
data on the performance of your
Whisper 200. The display can be
mounted on the controller or a
1000 (300 meters) away letting
you know what is happening. You
can even add an anemometer to
your controller and now you can
measure wind speed and compare
it to the output to make sure
you are getting the most from
your Whisper 200.
The Whisper 200 is designed
for even the novice. The Whisper
can be installed in just a few
hours with no welding, no
concrete or cranes. Our
engineers designed the work out
of installing wind turbines. Now
wind is as easy to use as
photovoltaics.
Why small wind? Solar and
wind resources often compliment
each other. Generally when it is
sunny it is calm and when it is
cloudy it is windy. This
complimentary effect is even
greater during seasonal changes.
During the winter and spring
when the sun is at its least
exposure, the wind is at it
highest. A Whisper 200 during
these periods is essential to
keep your batteries charged and
your lights on.

Exclusive to the
Whisper, the side-furling Angle-Governor
protects the turbine in high winds by
turning the alternator and blades out of
the wind, reducing turbine exposure.
Unlike other wind turbines that lose as
much as 80% of their output when furled,
the Angle-Governor allows the Whisper to
achieve maximum output in any wind.
