MOWEA

MOWEA developed the first modular micro- and wind energy turbines for plug and play usage for solar energy.
They are used in countries with a poor energy supply (reliable and cost-effective energy generation). In Germany MOWEA supports the development of decentral and smart energy systems.
The smart MOWEA is part of a networked, decentralized energy system that is capable of measuring and balancing the common energy production. MOWEA is more efficient than other micro wind systems and due to its low wind speed optimization and its modulating construction MOWEA is cost-efficient.
