Shetland Wind Power Ltd offer a series of generic systems, tailored to cater for most requirements

The following information refers to Shetland Wind Power Ltd’s most common type of system installation: wind energy. However, please contact us if you require information about alternative renewable energy technologies, as these can also be catered for

With high wind speeds two outcomes arise: 

• Heat losses within a building are at their greatest
• Wind energy is highly abundant

We can harness this wind energy to replace lost heat, thus making wind power ideal as supplementary or background heating

Background heating from wind helps protect the fabric of buildings and supplement “on-demand” and expensive heating
