Air Breeze Marine 200w Wind Generator

The next generation of small wind turbine from Southwest Windpower. The Air Breeze is the fourth generation of the Air series wind generators which have sold more than 135,000 units worldwide, the world’s best-selling wind turbines.

Quiet, reliable power from the wind - The Air breeze has been fully re-engineered and optimized, gaining trust from sailors around the world and recommendations from leading yachting publications. Its optimized electronic controls deliver energy quietly and efficiently. Extensive third party testing and certification shows consistent output and quiet operation.

Less than 6 kilos - As with its predecessor, the Air breeze weighs less than 6 kilos with an integrated electronic charge controller allowing simple installation. Performance and good looks are other reasons why the Air Breeze Marine is a top choice among sailors. Another big reason is energy output. Whether you need power for refrigeration units, auto-pilots, water makers, lights, navigational devices or communications gear, the Air Breeze Marine and a good wind can handle the load.

Optimized for lower wind Speeds - In many areas, wind speed varies throughout the day and drops at night reducing the average daily or monthly wind considerably. High wind speeds are rare and short-lived. The Air Breeze has been optimized for a lower start up speed and higher performance at lower wind speeds and despite a 200w maximum output can outperform even 400w units. By comparing the figures below,  we can see that at 6 knots average wind speed the Air Breeze considerably outperforms the Air-X becoming equal at about 15 knots. For areas with lower wind speeds we recommend the Air Breeze as a cost effective, lightweight unit with simple installation. 

For an independent comparison of most wind generators currently available, see the following link from Skipper. Tests performed on boats in the Caribbean.

Using a 13 volts conversion rate, we can compare output based on average wind.

6 knots - 530 Ah/month - 17.6 Ah/day

10 knots - 2100 Ah/month - 70 Ah/day

15 knots - 3840 Ah/month - 128 Ah/day

20 knots - 5700 Ah/month - 190 Ah/day

Compare these figures to other units:

Air-X Marine 400w

Silentwind Marine 400w

Silent Power Blades
