Energy Ball V100® (Battery connected)

The Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger is an artistic spherical ‘wind vane’ with a diameter of 1m, which you can use to generate some of your own electricity supply soundlessly. The Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger has been especially developed for installation in built-up residential surroundings as well as remote areas. Previous installations of the Energy Ball® in various locations have proven that it causes minimum inconvenience, thanks to its attractive appearance. When generating electrical energy, it does not cause any disturbance due to noise or casting a shadow.

We deliver the complete Energy Ball® package and then install it for you
on a mast reaching 10 or 12m in height. The Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger can also be installed on a flat roof using a special mount. Together, the Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger and the flat roof mount reach a height of 4.5m above roof level.

The Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger comes with a WindPower Charger. This converts the electrical energy generated by the Energy Ball® V100 into electricity with a suitable specification for supplying to batteries. (12 / 24 Vdc).

The Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger supplies the maximum amount of power at wind speeds of 19 m/s (wind-force 8 to 9 on Beaufort scale). See Power Curve Energy Ball® V100.

The Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger can produce an output at the mains of between 100 kWh and more than 500 kWh each year, with a respective wind regime in the installation location of between 4.0 and 7 m/s. This will occur as long as the Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger has been installed free of surrounding obstacles and attached to a mast which is 12 m high.

Average wind speed Output / year
m/s [Beaufort] [kWh]
7,5 4 - 5 650
7 4 - 5 500
6 4 350
5 3 - 4 200
4,5 3 150
4 3 100

We recommend that, prior to ordering, you look into which wind regime applies to your region. The Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger's total annual output will also be determined by the conditions in your area. Large buildings, turbulence and trees or other vegetation can have a negative effect on the Energy Ball®’s output. The wind in the Netherlands, for example, is often south-westerly. Positioning the Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger so that the wind from that direction has clear access to it, will therefore have a positive effect on output. Positioning the Energy Ball® V100 Battery Charger as high as possible also produces a better output.
