Onshore Unit SKS PN-14
A Revolution for Onshore Wind Power
Skysails Power PN-14
Conventional renewables face many obstacles, especially in onshore wind power production. Difficulties arise due to the lack of appropriate construction surfaces, conflicts of use, or public acceptance problems. Thanks to their unique advantages, Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) are a trendsetting solution to overcome these challenges. Based on decades of experience in using high-altitude winds for ship propulsion, SkySails Power has developed a revolutionary AWES that is compact, light, and easy to manufacture, transport, and operate. It can make clean and reliable onshore wind power available anywhere!
SKS PN-14 – The Only Airborne Wind Energy System that is Ready to Order
Today, we are the first company in the world with Airborne Wind Energy Systems that are ready to order!
The SKS PN-14 onshore wind power system provides clean electricity wherever it is required:
- as a reliable island solution in remote areas lacking a stable grid connection
- as an economic and independent solution for industry, agriculture, tourism, or telecommunication infrastructure
- as a supplement to existing energy projects such as solar parks or wind farms (hybridization)
24/7 Onshore Wind Power that’s Available Anywhere
The SKS PN-14 harnesses the wind at an altitude of 200 to 400 meters and also achieves high yields at low-wind sites. The system is safely employable in hurricane and typhoon regions, as it is easily retrieved and stowed away before these natural disasters occur. Thanks to its simple transportation and installation requirements, the SKS PN-14 can also be installed in places that are difficult to access.
