This turbine model has been optimised for sites with medium winds, and offers a flexible rating ranging from 4.2 to 4.8MW. This increases its adaptability to be configured for optimal performance in each individual project, ensuring maximum returns.

We have had great success with the SG 4.5-145 wind turbine, with over 1.4GW sold in the US, Canada, and Mexico, and we are excited to continue growing that number.”
