Loughborough, 7th July 2009 - Evance is targeting a slice of the rapidly growing US small wind market with the appointment of full service wholesale distributor of renewable energy products, DC Power Systems for its Iskra R9000 5kw turbine.
The Evance turbine will be sold through the company's network of 250 active dealers. DC Power Systems expects home owners, light commercial sites, and agricultural sites to be the first to buy the Iskra R9000.
Evance has also appointed CIRKEL ENERGI as its distributor in Denmark, strengthening its European reach following May's announcement of new distributors in Germany and Poland.
The American Wind Energy Association's (AWEA) Small Wind Turbine Global Study (Year Ending 2008) projects a 30-fold growth in installed small wind capacity in the US within five years. Much of this estimated growth will be spurred by the new eight-year 30% federal Investment Tax Credit augmented in February 2009.
Michael Miller, Wind Power Sales Manager, DC Power Systems, said of Evance's Iskra R9000: "We chose the turbine because of its elegant variable pitching mechanism, overall engineering and construction quality and suitability for the US market."
Evance's new Iskra R9000 turbine heralds a significant advance in efficiency, reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, and reduced installation time and cost. The turbine is an evolution of the popular and reliable Iskra AT5-1 and has been developed over two years, including continuous monitoring and evaluation on Evance's test sites, instrumented and measured according to IEC standards.

Featured Product
Introducing RockIt Smart Slide
Introducing RockIt Smart Slide - the ultimate solution for fast and easy installation of the rail-less RockIt racking system on composition shingle roofs. Smart Slide conforms to UL 441 and TAS 100 (A)-95 for wind and wind-driven rain, providing a super-strong watertight seal that is achieved through compression, in most cases without the need for additional sealant. The waterproofing sealant is embedded deep into the granules of the shingle, thanks to the integrated flexible foam layer that provides cushioning. This ensures a secure fit that conforms to any architectural-style shingle. With UltraGrip Technology™, you can rely on a secure installation, as it absorbs the movement created by thermal expansion and contraction. The pre-installed sealing pads are compatible with all composition shingle roofs, making it the ideal choice, even in ambient temperatures as low as 5 degrees.
