Frequently Asked Questions.

Wind turbines use either the lift principle (like airplane wings) or the drag principle (wind pushing against a surface). Lift-based systems are highly efficient but require steady, high-altitude wind. Drag-based systems work better in turbulent, near-ground environments but traditionally have lower efficiency. novventos combines both principles—achieving higher performance in real-world, decentralized settings.

Vertical wind turbines perform better in turbulent, near-ground wind conditions common in urban and rooftop environments. Unlike horizontal systems, they don’t rely on tall towers or laminar airflow. The novventos nacaboost is specifically engineered for decentralized installations—making it ideal for businesses, communities, and off-grid applications seeking reliable, local power generation.

There are two primary vertical-axis designs:

Darrieus rotors, which use lift and require higher wind speeds, and

Savonius rotors, which use drag and perform well in turbulent, low-altitude wind.

novventos enhances the Savonius concept with airfoil-shaped elements, combining lift and drag for improved efficiency and broader operational range.

The nacaboost combines hybrid lift-and-drag aerodynamics, wind-accelerating housing, integrated solar panels, and intelligent software control. This enables high uptime, quiet operation (just 10 dB at 10 meters), and efficient energy harvesting even in turbulent conditions. It’s compact, visually unobtrusive, and engineered specifically for decentralized energy independence.

Wind and solar complement each other. When wind speeds drop, sunlight is often available—and vice versa. By integrating solar panels directly into the housing, nacaboost maximizes surface efficiency and increases annual energy yield. This hybrid system significantly improves uptime and reduces reliance on battery storage.

The nacaboost StaticWings 3126 can generate up to 10 MWh annually per unit, depending on average wind conditions at the installation site. This output supports meaningful energy independence for commercial buildings, communities, or off-grid applications. A location-based wind assessment determines the precise expected yield.

Thanks to its hybrid wind-plus-solar design, nacaboost delivers highly consistent energy generation. Throughout the year, there are very few hours without either wind or sunlight. Intelligent load management optimizes performance across changing conditions, ensuring stable annual output and high operational uptime.

Yes. nacaboost is specifically engineered for near-ground and turbulent wind conditions typical of rooftops and urban settings. Its proprietary housing accelerates incoming airflow while minimizing performance loss from returning rotor blades—making it highly effective where conventional turbines struggle.

Peak output refers to the maximum power a system can generate under ideal conditions. However, real-world energy production depends on annual wind patterns and uptime. For decentralized systems, annual yield and consistency matter more than peak ratings—areas where nacaboost’s hybrid design provides a strong advantage.

nacaboost is suitable for rooftop installations, ground-level sites, and even mobile container-based systems. Its compact design integrates easily into existing structures and landscapes. The unobtrusive form factor often simplifies permitting compared to large-scale turbines.

The nacaboost operates at approximately 10 dB measured at 10 meters, making it exceptionally quiet. Its dual-bearing rotor stabilization and optimized housing design ensure vibration-free performance—ideal for installations near homes, offices, and public buildings.

The vertical-axis design already reduces wildlife risk compared to large horizontal turbines. Additionally, an optional protective rotor enclosure further minimizes bird strike potential. Its compact size and low-speed operation make it a responsible solution for urban and decentralized energy environments.
