Residential wind turbine | Personal energy solution

Generating your own electricity is more relevant than ever. With rising energy prices and increasing demand for sustainable solutions, residential wind turbines have become an appealing choice for those looking to reduce reliance on the power grid. A private wind turbine offers a way to take control of your energy supply, reduce long-term costs, and contribute to a cleaner future.

At Viking Wind, we develop and manufacture robust, Danish-built turbines that are tailored to the Nordic climate. Our solutions are designed to deliver stable performance year after year, making them ideal for anyone seeking long-term energy independence through renewable power.

Independent energy supply tool - Engineered for harsh Northern conditions

Our turbines are designed to deliver consistent, long-lasting energy in even the most challenging environments. Unlike many small wind turbines that are merely adapted for different markets, our solutions are purpose-built for Northern Europe, where strong winds, low temperatures and harsh weather are part of everyday life.

This focused design approach ensures that our turbines continue to perform reliably throughout the year. Corrosion-resistant materials, robust construction and minimal moving parts contribute to low maintenance requirements and a service life that spans decades. Because they are optimised for fluctuating wind speeds, our turbines provide stable and efficient power generation across all seasons – an ideal solution for rural and exposed locations where energy security matters most.

The Viking VS – A private wind turbine that performs

Our wind turbine for home, the Viking VS, is the main solution offered by Viking Wind for residential and small-scale use. It is a variable-speed turbine, available in 10-, 20-, and 25 kW models, and based on the proven Viking 25 design. With over 15 years of development behind it, the Viking VS combines well-tested mechanics with updated control systems that ensure both high efficiency and operational safety.

One of the features that makes the turbine especially suitable for residential use is the integrated electric winch system, which allows the entire mast to be raised and lowered without a crane. This makes both installation and maintenance simpler and more cost-effective. The turbine is also equipped with three independent braking systems and built-in safety mechanisms that activate automatically in high wind conditions or if the power grid fails.

With the right wind conditions, the Viking VS can deliver up to 90,000 kWh annually, making it suitable not just for private households, but also for farms and small enterprises with higher energy needs. Furthermore, we also offer the WS5, a 5kW wind turbine for smaller households.

What does it cost to install a residential wind turbine?

The cost of installing a household wind turbine depends on several factors, including turbine size, local wind conditions, and whether the system is off-grid or grid-connected. At Viking Wind, we provide complete systems tailored to these needs, with all essential components included.

For most rural homes and agricultural properties, a turbine in the 10 to 25 kW range offers the best combination of output and long-term value. Over time, savings on electricity bills contribute to a strong return on investment – and operational costs are kept low thanks to the turbine’s integrated winch system.  

Here’s what to consider when budgeting for a residential wind turbine:

• Turbine size and energy needs – Choose between 10, 20 or 25 kW depending on your annual electricity consumption.

• Site conditions – Open areas with steady wind will yield the best performance and highest return.

• Installation method – The integrated winch system eliminates the need for cranes, reducing setup costs.

• Maintenance – Annual servicing is simple and performed from ground level, without the need for special equipment.

• Warranty – All turbines include a five-year warranty on all major components, ensuring long-term protection.

With a lifespan of at least 20 years and minimal ongoing costs, a private wind turbine from Viking Wind is a smart investment for anyone seeking predictable, self-sufficient energy.

Off-grid and hybrid energy systems

If your property is not connected to the public grid, or if you want full energy independence, we offer off-grid and hybrid system configurations. These setups allow the turbine to supply electricity directly to the property, often supplemented by solar panels and battery storage.

In a hybrid system, the wind turbine charges batteries during windy periods while solar panels provide additional input on sunny days. The stored energy is then used when neither sun nor wind is available. This creates a stable, reliable energy source for properties in remote areas, where grid connection is unavailable or unstable.

Such systems are often used for off-grid homes, holiday cabins or farms in isolated locations that require uninterrupted electricity. We assist in designing the optimal configuration based on the property’s specific needs and wind conditions, ensuring the system matches both the technical and practical requirements of the owner.
