Navigation structures, docks, buoys, and coastal monitoring stations in some of the windiest and most corrosive operating environments anywhere.
The power challenge
Navigation aids and coastal sensors are safety-critical and hard to reach; a service visit can require a boat, a crane, or a weather window.
Why current solutions fall short
Salt spray corrodes exposed mechanisms and coats solar panels. Winter fog and short days starve solar exactly when marine traffic depends on lit and powered aids.
Why enclosed micro-wind may fit
Coastal sites offer outstanding wind resource, and the enclosure is intended to shield the rotor from spray, ice, and birds — a configuration target for the marine environmental package.
