Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

Irwin M&E provides a complete commercial vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) service, from feasibility and supply to installation, maintenance and aftercare. Using Dospel Dragon 1500+ turbines, we help organisations integrate wind power into their buildings and sites, supporting on-site renewable electricity generation and long-term decarbonisation goals.

Designed for commercial and public-sector applications, vertical axis wind turbines offer an additional renewable energy option for buildings where space, roof configuration or site conditions may limit other technologies. They can also complement existing Solar PV installations to diversify on-site energy generation.

Vertical axis wind turbines capture wind from any direction, making them suitable for a range of commercial environments. Their compact design and low-noise operation make them an option for urban locations and built-up sites where traditional wind turbines may not be practical.

From office buildings and industrial facilities to educational campuses and public-sector estates, our team can assess the suitability of wind energy for your site and its energy requirements.

The Dospel Dragon 1500+ range is designed to generate power from wind speeds as low as 2 m/s. Its ability to capture wind from different directions provides flexibility when integrating renewable technology into commercial buildings.

The turbines can be installed on suitable flat, tiled or trapezoidal roofs, subject to a site-specific assessment. Available in 10 colours, they offer flexibility to suit different building designs and environments.

Commercial vertical axis wind turbines can work alongside Solar PV as part of a wider on-site renewable energy strategy. Combining wind and solar technologies can help organisations make better use of available space and diversify their renewable electricity generation, depending on local conditions and system design.

As part of Irwin M&E’s Energy & Renewables division, we provide an integrated service covering feasibility, planning support, supply, installation, grid connection, maintenance and ongoing aftercare.

Our team will assess your building, site conditions and energy objectives to help determine whether a vertical axis wind turbine is a suitable addition to your renewable energy infrastructure.

Reducing reliance on conventional energy sources is an important consideration for businesses managing operational costs and carbon emissions. On-site wind generation can contribute to these objectives when supported by suitable site conditions and an appropriate system design.

Irwin M&E works with commercial and public-sector organisations to identify practical renewable energy solutions that support their wider energy strategies and sustainability targets.
