$33,193.00 is an ESTIMATED retail starting price, which includes the
complete 5kW system with a 40' tower. Price does NOT include
installation costs.
The Evance R9000 is an upwind turbine design so the blades face the wind. An advantage of this design is that wind shade behind the tower is avoided. The passive yaw control is used to keep the blades facing into the wind as the wind direction changes so maximizing energy yield.

Combining patented state-of-the- art technology and elegant design, the Evance R9000 belongs to the ‘next generation’ of small wind turbines, offering class leading quality, performance and reliability.
EFFICIENT
The R9000 5kW wind turbine has been engineered to ensure maximum energy yield by generating energy at low wind speeds, and by running continuously and safely at high wind speeds – the most efficient 5KW turbine available.
MAXIMUM ENERGY YIELD
The R9000 starts generating energy at low wind speeds and is designed to run continuously at high wind speeds, so providing the maximum yield possible - giving you energy generation when the wind is blowing it’s strongest.
At low to moderate wind speeds the patented pitch system, Reactive Pitch™, holds the blades in the optimum position for capturing maximum energy from the wind. At high wind speeds the R9000’s Reactive Pitch™ mechanism automatically pitches the blades so it can regulate energy capture and blade speed. It therefore continues to capture energy – up to the full 5kW power rating.
The R9000 delivers you class leading performance - maximizing the kilowatt hours of energy produced.
KEEPS ON RUNNING
We understand that minimal downtime is essential as you want your turbine working during a windy period. Therefore the R9000 turbine and tower are designed to provide outstanding durability in the harshest of conditions - exceeding both the durability and reliability tests under the UK’s MCS certification.
LOW ENVIORNMENTAL IMPACT
The turbine is generally sited at least 80m from a neighboring property so there is minimal noise impact. On a windy day it can sound like the wind in the trees.
All small wind generators will create some noise, the R900 is manufactured in the UK, where noise levels are measured to the standard set by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). The R9000 fulfilled the noise criteria and all others to become fully accredited in July 2010.
A key design criteria of the R9000 wind turbine was the visual aesthetics of the system. The result is a modern and visually pleasing wind turbine which has a minimum visual impact on its surroundings - a distinct advantage for obtaining planning permission.
MINIMAL MAINTENANCE
Both the wind turbine and the tower are designed to provide outstanding durability - a minimum design life of 20 years. With few mechanical parts, in particular no gearbox, the R9000’s maintenance is minimal.
