Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We ship our power systems and wind turbines to over 65 countries across all 7 continents. Whether your project is located at a remote mountain site in Scandinavia, an offshore platform in the North Sea, or an environmental station in Antarctica, we provide end-to-end international freight solutions.

Our logistics team handles custom ISPM-15 wooden export crating, dangerous goods documentation (for AGM/LiFePO4 batteries and fuel-cell methanol cartridges), customs clearances, and specialized transport including helicopter drop-ready modular packaging.

Unlike commercial solar providers who rely on annual averages, Leading Edge Power models system capacity against worst-case seasonal meteorological conditions (typically December and January in northern latitudes). We utilize ERA5 high-resolution atmospheric reanalysis data blended with the Global Wind Atlas at your exact GPS coordinates.

Standard design principles include:

• Continuous Load Sizing: Sized for continuous baseline consumption from 5 W up to 500 W+.
• Battery Autonomy: Minimum 3 to 7 days of full battery reserve with zero renewable input.
• Redundant Generation: Dual wind-solar input ratio configured so wind covers dark winter months while solar covers calm summer periods.

Yes. Our vertical and horizontal axis micro wind turbines—such as the LE-v150 Storm—are engineered specifically for brutal offshore and high-altitude locations. Key marine-grade design features include:

• C5-M Heavy Marine Coatings: Anodized aluminum components and stainless steel fasteners withstand severe salt mist corrosion.
• Passive Aerodynamic Braking: Prevents rotor overspeed during storm-force conditions without electrical shorting devices.
• Sealed Industrial Bearings: Dust-proof and water-tight design eliminates routine mechanical maintenance in unattended environments.

For mission-critical infrastructure where 99.999% uptime is non-negotiable, we supply hybrid power enclosures incorporating integrated EFOY Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC) or automated backup generators.

When wind and solar generation cease and battery state of charge (SoC) drops below a programmable limit, the methanol fuel cell automatically initiates to keep critical telemetry, Starlink broadband, or safety equipment operational. Remote fuel sensing alerts technicians months before refueling is required.

Every bespoke power unit can be fitted with our integrated Victron Cerbo GX telemetry package. This provides continuous cloud dashboard access over 4G/LTE cellular or Starlink satellite links.

Monitored parameters include: real-time wind and solar generation wattage, continuous load draw, battery state of charge (SoC) and cell temperature, system voltages, ambient temperature, and automated alarm triggers via email/SMS.

All Leading Edge Power wind turbines, charge controllers, and integrated power enclosures are designed, manufactured, and quality-tested under ISO-aligned manufacturing processes at our facility in Pontrilas, Herefordshire, UK.

Our engineering team holds Global Wind Organisation (GWO) offshore certification, allowing us to perform offshore site surveys, installations, and maintenance worldwide.

Yes. We specialize in custom electrical and mechanical engineering. We provide pre-wired IP66/IP67 stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum enclosures, custom tower mounting kits, skid-mounted portable trailers, and ground-mount solar structures tailored to your site's soil and wind loading constraints.

We supply both Deep-Cycle AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) storage systems depending on the environment:

• Deep-Cycle AGM: Superior low-temperature charging capability (down to -30°C) with no heating required; zero maintenance, leak-proof, and robust against high discharge depth.
• LiFePO4 Storage: High energy density and superior cycle life (3000+ cycles at 80% DoD) for temperature-controlled enclosures or tropical environments.
