The Rutland 914i was developed following the long success of the 913 model. Its 30% increased generating capacity, from the same diameter turbine, is achieved through advanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) electronics, delivering even more energy from the wind. Ideal for liveaboard and weekend yachting boats from 10 meters.

The Rutland 914i punches well above its size for power, rivalling the claimed outputs of larger turbines, owing to its built-in MPPT technology. This continuously matches the turbine speed and generator to their optimum performance to deliver more ampere hours into your battery…and a by-product of this optimised efficiency is a virtually silent wind turbine!

Materials

Marlec have innovated their field by introducing light weight but robust high-density nylon and glass reinforced materials that are UV stable alongside marine grade aluminium, stainless steel, sealed for life bearings and other carefully selected and precision worked materials in the UK factory.

Why Rutland?

Rutland’s low wind speed start up is unrivalled. The highly efficient blade and generator designs deliver charge into your batteries long before many other turbines are picking up. Overall that’s more power to you!

Marlec are innovators, leading the way in their industry on aerodynamic, electronics and low friction generator designs to deliver modern, durable wind turbines that have continued to stand the test of time.

They keep it simple and user friendly for our tens of thousands of users worldwide. Eg the blades have a positive one-way-only fit so there’s no need for the user to align with other components.

Quietly – their fully integrated product designs result in quiet operation so you can liveaboard without disturbance from noisy blades.

Reliably – with over 100,000 units sold worldwide, Rutland turbines have been proven time and again on land and sea. The UK based factory is manufactured under ISO9002 operating standards and their testing parameters are rigorous.

Effortlessly – just a gentle breeze is all it takes to start delivering charge into your batteries.  The Rutland 1200 highly efficient blades and low inertia generator capture the free and abundant energy in the wind.

Environmentally Friendly – be at one with the sea and use the natural resources of the wind and sun to fulfil your energy needs without costing the earth.

Getting Your Rutland Up and Running

Choose the right Rutland Windcharger for you and then select: 

A Rutland Marine Mounting Pole and separately supplied Stays Kit give a professional nish to your installation OR make your \\\\ own to suit using the tube sizes specified:

Rutland 914i – 41mm internal diameter, maximum external 48mm

Rutland 504 – 31.7mm internal diameter, maximum external 38mm

Charge Regulator

Choose one of the latest technology PWM (pulse width modulation) regulators available for single or dual battery charging. Both types undertake multistage charging and include temperature compensation to maximise the battery capacity. As the batteries achieve full charge these regulators automatically and progressively brake the blades minimising unnecessary wear on the wind turbine. An input position for solar panels up to maximum capacity of 160W (@25°C) is included. Shutdown switch to isolate wind and solar charging from the battery is built in. The regulator should be located within a 1.5m cable run of the battery ban.
