Introducing the next generation of low-cost wind energy

XFE-13

The most reliable and affordable 30 kW wind turbine on the market increases your return by maximizing energy production while reducing energy cost.

Designed for low wind sites

The XFE-13 features an optimized rotor designed to maximize energy capture in low-wind environments. This ensures strong, consistent performance even where wind resources are modest.

Lower capital cost

The XFE-13 costs 30% less than competing wind turbines while delivering the same annual energy output. That means a 30% faster payback period, putting money back in your pocket sooner.

Patented power conversion

XFlow's patented UL 1741-SB certified power conversion system reduces costs and barriers to installation.

Advanced aerodynamic controls

Adaptive control algorithms respond dynamically to changing wind conditions, maximizing energy production.

Remote monitoring and diagnostics

The XFE-13 offers monitoring of power generation and system health via a web interface. This tool allows for early issue detection, helping to reduce maintenance costs and maximize equipment life.

Low maintenance

The XFE-13 has only a single degree of freedom, significantly reducing system complexity compared to traditional wind turbines. With fewer components to inspect or service, maintenance requirements are minimized. When maintenance is needed, its accessible, service-friendly design, including a tilt down tower, helps lower both time and cost.

About

XFlow was founded by Ian and Ben, engineers with a shared passion for reducing the cost of onsite wind energy.

Their journey began in college, where they designed and built a small wind turbine from the ground up. After going their separate ways for grad school, they both ended up studying the same challenge: how to make vertical-axis wind turbines—a lesser used wind turbine design—produce more energy, cost less, and last longer to achieve a lower cost of energy than traditional wind turbines.

Reunited by a common conviction that vertical-axis wind turbines held untapped potential, they formed XFlow to bring a rigorous, data-driven approach to wind innovation. With support from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and US Department of Energy, the XFlow team has methodically engineered a next-generation vertical-axis wind turbine, the XFE-13. The result is a 30 kW wind turbine that delivers the lowest cost of energy of any turbine of this size.

XFlow is setting a new standard in distributed wind—combining deep technical insight with real-world performance to make wind a viable and profitable new crop for farms, rural businesses, and beyond.
