About this Project
The Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute is one of our favourite repeat clients. In 2012, their facility operated on an off-grid hybrid wind/solar system using a Raum 1.5kW wind turbine. The Raum 1.5kW was made by Raum Energy of Saskatchewan, a company that won an award for innovative technology in 2009.
Although Raum Energy has since disappeared, the Raum 1.5kW was a beautiful unit that we felt was perfectly suited to off-grid applications.

- Checking for and replace any worn leading edge tape on the turbine blades, if appropriate
