Silentwind

Lightweight wind power for boats and off-grid.

Silentwind is a power-production brand specialising in lightweight wind generators built around carbon-fibre blades and a hybrid wind/solar charge controller. The system is designed to harvest energy day and night, complementing solar on boats and off-grid mobile installations. PowerSol carries Silentwind for boatbuilders, installers and dealers across the marine and overland markets.

Wind is the natural companion to solar. On a mooring or a remote campsite, panels stop working at dusk and on overcast days, while breeze often picks up overnight. Silentwind addresses that gap with a compact wind generator whose carbon-fibre blades keep rotating mass and turbine weight low, an advantage when mounting on a pole, arch or roof structure where every kilogram matters. The result is a charging source that keeps batteries topped up through the hours solar cannot cover.

The defining element of the Silentwind approach is its hybrid wind/solar charge controller, which manages inputs from both the turbine and a solar array within a single device. This consolidates charge regulation, simplifies the wiring run and gives the installer one point of configuration for the battery bank rather than separate, uncoordinated controllers fighting over the same batteries. For a marine or overland system where panel space and electrical real estate are limited, that integration is a practical benefit during commissioning and over the life of the installation.

For installers, the carbon-fibre blade set is also a serviceable component rather than a sealed assembly, so PowerSol stocks blades alongside the generators and controllers. That matters for vessels and vehicles that spend long periods away from a workshop: a damaged blade can be replaced in the field rather than retiring the whole unit. Across leisure-marine and mobile-overland builds, Silentwind fits the same brief PowerSol applies to the rest of its range, a defined, supportable component that integrates cleanly into a larger power system.

Why specify Silentwind

  • Carbon-fibre blades keep weight and rotating mass low, suiting pole, arch and roof mounts where structural load is a constraint.
  • A single hybrid wind/solar controller regulates both sources to one battery bank, reducing wiring and configuration complexity.
  • Wind generation covers the night-time and overcast hours that solar alone cannot, giving genuine day-and-night charging.
  • Replacement carbon-fibre blades and controllers are stocked by PowerSol, so units stay serviceable rather than disposable.

Silentwind — FAQs

Can a Silentwind generator and solar panels run together on the same battery bank?

Yes. Silentwind's hybrid wind/solar charge controller is designed to take inputs from both the turbine and a solar array and regulate them to a single battery bank, so the two sources are coordinated through one device rather than separate controllers. Speak to PowerSol about matching the controller to your panel and battery configuration.

Why choose carbon-fibre blades over conventional blades?

Carbon fibre gives a stiff, lightweight blade, which keeps the turbine's overall weight and rotating mass low. That eases the structural demands of pole, arch and roof mounting on boats and vehicles, where added weight aloft is a real consideration.

Are replacement blades and controllers available separately?

Yes. PowerSol stocks Silentwind carbon-fibre blades and hybrid controllers as separate items, so a damaged blade can be replaced without retiring the whole generator, which is useful for vessels and vehicles operating away from a workshop.
