The Whisper 100 and 200 from Southwest Windpower are shipped in a 24 Volt configuration, but can easily be changed to 12, 36, or 48 volts by the installer. The included controller is adjustable for use with 12, 24, 36, and 48 volt battery systems and the voltage can be adjusted for any battery type. The control can be set to stop the blade from spinning when the battery is fully charged, avoiding wear when power is not needed. The control has a selectable silent mode setting that allows the user to select any specific period to automatically turn the wind turbine on or off.

     An optional digital display may be added to the control to display total kilowatt hours, peak amps, and peak and average wind speed. To measure wind speed, the optional wind speed sensor must be ordered.

     The Whisper 100 is designed to operate in a site with wind speed averages of 12 mph and greater. It delivers 900 watts peak power at 28 mph (12.5 m/s). It can provide 100+ kWh per month, 3.4 kWh per day, in a 12 mph average wind speed location. The 100, with its 7 ft. (2.1 m) rotor diameter and 40 sq. ft. swept area, is rugged enough for extreme environments. The 3-blade design lasts longer and is more stable in turbulent wind. The Marine version is sealed and powder coated for use in coastal and nautical environments.
