WINDY BOY 5000-US / 6000-US / 7000-US / 8000-US

WINDY BOY 5000-US / 6000-US / 7000-US / 8000-US

Versatile performer with UL certification

The Windy Boy inverters with UL certification have a first-rate efficiency level. They are easy to combine since multiple devices can be operated on a single generator. Thus, higher power plants can be readily connected to the grid. The automatic grid voltage detection* allows for a straightforward and secure installation. The galvanic isolation also ensures safety as well as flexible connection options. The weatherproof enclosure and the wide temperature range allow for installation at almost any location. These units are the best choice for small wind plants over 5 kW.
