The product

The Aventus Aero Power Tower

A modular hybrid tower that puts solar panels and our low-wind vertical turbine on one compact structure — a complete off-grid power plant on a single footprint.

Modular by design

Stack it to suit the site.

  • 3 m lattice modulesA sturdy, tank-stand-style steel structure built in stackable 3 m sections.
  • Solar on every moduleEach module carries a pair of panels on opposite sides, angled at about 30° for year-round sun.
  • Turbine on topThe Aventus vertical turbine sits in an open 4.5 m cage at the top, where the wind is strongest.
  • Taller = more powerMore modules lift the turbine into better wind and add more solar panels. A typical three-module tower stands around 15 m tall.
Why hybrid

Projected yearly output

What a Mid tower could produce.

Based on a 1.5 kW turbine with 3.9 kW of solar, across three typical South African wind profiles.

Wind profileAverage windWindSolarTotal per year
Inland (e.g. Johannesburg)3.5–4 m/s~3,000 kWh~9,200 kWh~12,000 kWh
Coastal (e.g. Cape Town)6–7 m/s~6,000 kWh~7,800 kWh~13,500–14,500 kWh
High-wind corridor (e.g. Gqeberha)7–8 m/s~8,500 kWh~7,800 kWh~16,000–17,500 kWh

Projections from our design models. Actual output depends on the site, tower height and local weather.

What that powers

Typical yearly demand.

5–7k kWh
2-bedroom home
7–10k kWh
3-bedroom home
10–15k kWh
4-bedroom home
~12k kWh
Small office (100 m²)

A single Mid Power Tower is designed to cover a 4-bedroom home or a small office off-grid.
