Why License and Self-manufacture Instead of Buying  Wind Turbines From Others?

Buying a Windtec license means receiving all of the technology for building a wind turbine with the complete specification of mechanical, electrical parts and software. Self-manufacturing wind turbines and localization of production has the following advantages:

1. Break-even faster and make more money now and over the life of the turbine by doing your own manufacturing.

2. Three ways of making money. Turnkey projects for your own wind farms, selling complete wind turbines or selling only the components to others.

3. Becoming a licensee decreases costs (e.g. for transportation, high purchase prices) and increases independence.

4. Reduced lead time due to buying Windtec technology license and building up first reference turbine within approximately 12 months instead of waiting for more than 3 years for built wind turbines.

5. Build your own industry/manufacturing cluster for self-manufacturing licensed wind turbines so that more than 80% localization possible after 3 years. Compliance with all local utility requirements is guaranteed.

6. Established component supply chain due to Windtec’s customer and supplier network.

7. Ongoing Windtec management and support in component sourcing, commissioning turbines and trouble shooting.  Professional high quality on-the-job training and support from development stage to full-scale manufacturing maximizes your success.

8. Latest state-of-the-art high end technology with superior power quality due to innovative, certified technology concepts (e.g. SuperGEAR™, SafetyLOCK™, etc.). A harmonized control system with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) enables 365/24/7 active monitoring of your turbine.
