In a word: WOW! This show blew our expectations, and we are grateful for the many insightful, fun and inspiring conversations. Our key takeaways:

• We put small vertical-axis wind turbines and hybrid wind-solar solutions on the map as serious options for industrial applications.

• There are far more use cases for our solution than we ever imagined.

• Large wind park projects and their developers are not our competition - they are the environment we all work in together.

• Food of the show: Currywurst, Currywurst, Currywurst 🌭

Now the show follow-up work begins. Busy is good :-)

Our CEO Franz Humer, and Director of Strategic Initiatives and Market Development Andreas Boedenauer are currently scouting locations for upcoming novventos installations on the Iberian Peninsula at the most southwestern point of Europe. 

Harnessing Nature’s Power at its finest :-) Stay tuned for more updates.

This is what we call MOMENTUM.

We’ve just reached another major milestone: the first Superleggera prototype is now installed on the roof - right next to its bigger sibling, the nacaboost wind turbine.

Superleggera is a smaller, lighter wind turbine featuring the proven novventos technology, empowering our customers to harness the full power of wind & solar through science and innovation.

Superleggera is ideal for installations on industrial rooftops and containers (more details coming soon) and is fully compatible with nacaboost control, including mixed-use applications, as shown in the image.

And there’s more: Superleggera introduces an exciting new capability: stackability! This allows output to scale easily while maintaining the same footprint. With a few final refinements to the rotor, we’re targeting a launch in April 2026.

Join novventos CEO and Head of Software Engineering Franz Humer and learn more about the software architecture that is the foundation of our technology.

A Kontron PiXtend device with a Raspberry Pi processor handles motor control, sensors, inverters, and safety features. Open interfaces and extensive data logging enable deep insights and flexible data access in the browser-based operator panel.

Join our CTO, Bernhard Fellner, once again—this time in less-than-ideal weather.

With more wind and no sun, see how the nacaboost control system automatically adjusts its housing to maximize energy harvesting from wind. Even under these conditions, the solar panels—especially those on top—continue generating power. It’s a great example of how our technology intelligently adapts to changing weather conditions to ensure optimal energy harvesting and deliver a reliable power supply.

Our nacaboost hybrid power solution delivers energy around the clock.

• Solar panels generate power from daylight, even on low-wind days.

• The wind turbine keeps producing energy at night.

The result: a reliable, almost constant power supply. Check out the video where our CTO, Bernhard Fellner, explains how our hybrid approach works.

PS: It's a sunny day, with no wind, yet we harvest energy from the sun.

Last week, we proudly premiered our technology at RE+ 2025, the leading renewable energy tradeshow in North America.

We had many inspiring conversations that clearly confirmed our hybrid energy harvesting solution is set to play a key role in the future of sustainable and independent power generation.

Every startup journey is built on vision, resilience, and countless hours of hard work. And now, we’ve reached one of those defining moments that makes it all worthwhile:

We proudly present our next-generation nacaboost 3126 wind turbine.

August 14, 2025

Milestone achieved: Our next-gen prototype is officially up and running today! This marks a significant step forward in our journey toward innovation. The entire team is incredibly proud of this accomplishment, showcasing dedication, expertise, and a shared commitment to pushing boundaries and shaping the future with groundbreaking solutions.

August 7, 2025

Our R&D Engineer Michael Penetsdorfer discusses the benefits of using Siemens components in our nacaboost wind turbines with Marc Atzgersdorfer, Sales Engineer at Siemens.

Using these high quality components allows us to push the CP value (Coefficient of Efficiency) of our wind turbines.

July 16, 2025

Our CEO Franz Humer explains how novventos uses empirical data and the constant information flow from every turbine in our global fleet to continuously and autonomously optimize performance. The goal: maximizing the CP value. The method: smart, real-time adjustments powered by data. And yes—we’re really good at it. 

By leveraging advanced analytics and adaptive control systems, we ensure each turbine operates at peak efficiency—even as wind and weather conditions change. It’s not just about collecting data—it’s about transforming it into action that drives cleaner, smarter energy.

July 3, 2025

Our CTO, Bernhard Fellner, breaks down the scientific foundation of our mission: capturing the power of the wind with maximum efficiency.

This is just the beginning—over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing more about the core principles behind our work and how you can take control of your energy future.

Design. Simulate. Test. Measure. Learn. Refine. 
That’s the mindset our product development team lives by — a continuous loop to push performance even further. In this video, our engineer Rene gives you an exclusive look inside our wind tunnel, where we test a new wing disc design on a 1:2 scale model. The setup? Fully loaded with sensors and optimized for real-time data capture. Every insight we gain is immediately translated into improvements in our products.

MILESTONE. Today we successfully completed our first grid installation. A grid is a setup where multiple turbines are combined to harvest the wind energy. This is a significant step towards making industrial applications of our technology a very reliable and economically feasible offering.

May 6, 2025

Major Milestone: Our first turbine with a revolutionary new design has been installed in Austria’s Hausruckviertel. This test facility is a breakthrough for renewable energy generation, combining both solar PV and wind power in a unique hybrid setup. It’s also the very first installation to feature our new yaw drive technology, making it more efficient and adaptable. The actual output already exceeds the wind tunnel performance — and we’re feeding electricity into the grid.
