Hello, I love these systems and was really excited to see such a great idea and answer to the country's energy problems. I have been considering this carefully and decide that it is a great investment for my home. I am looking at putting two.. maybe three of the WE7 rooftop kits on my home. I was wondering if there is a vibration problem in doing this. Can you speak to the design and function as it relates to vibration and noise on the home? Thank you.

Hello, Sure. Basically this turbine is not like other turbines. Other units are noisy and cheaply made in comparison are just vibrating more. SO, you will read and hear about all kinds of things with turbines that just do not apply to such a great unit like the WE7-700. Noise is usually the key indicator of vibration, our turbine is quieter than any other I have heard, we have a pole adjacent noise level of less than 55dBA making it neighborhood friendly.

2 Moving Parts: For starters this turbine has fewer moving parts than other designs. The moving parts are what causes vibration. More moving parts means more wear, shorter life span, and more mechanical failures. Think about that when you compare our design with competing turbines.

The Blades: are made with the most advanced thermo-fiberplastic technology. The fact that the blades are slightly flexible, and perfectly balanced is the beginning of vibration management. Compare that to the stiff, rigid, wood, fiberglass, or metal blades on other turbines.

Precision Manufactured: a perfectly manufactured PMA alternator with precision stainless steel parts that glide on the highest quality bearings. The moving parts are manufactured in such precision that the turbine is just very smooth and balanced.

Anti-Vibration Engineering: our rooftop kit has anti-vibration technology to isolate and absorb any remaining vibration, rather than transfer it to the structure it is mounted to.

Thanks for the question and I hope that you get your system up soon. Let me know if there's anything else on your mind.
