<div dir="ltr">Hi Mac I have had a similar experience. But I am not saying the same. The turbine has a nacelle that splits to furl. When we took down to repair the pivot pin hole in the case was so worn it needed to be re-bored and fitted with a bushing. I could not find a machine shop to do it because the Nacelle has no alignment fixtures. The yaw bearing was also bad. I reported to the customer and suggested he check with Pika as they had a small turbine that might work. I do not know what the customer ended up doing, I think he just added more solar. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 7, 2018 at 2:06 PM, Starlight Solar Power Systems <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:larry@starlightsolar.com" target="_blank">larry@starlightsolar.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Mac,<br>

A company called Luminous Renewable Energy Solutions Pvt. Ltd. had taken over the SWWP line. My last email with them was in 2013. I notice that their website is not up but perhaps they sold or changed something.<br>

Hello wrenches,<br>
<br>
I have a client with an older Whisper 200, 1 kW wind turbine. We didn't install this but have taken over the site maintenance since the original installer left town. The site recently experienced prolonged relatively high winds for 3-4 days. After that, he went out and noticed that the tail is stuck in the side-furling position.<br>

I'm not very familiar with this turbine or wind turbines in general, but looking at a manual, it looks like we may need a new bushing or maybe even a new casting. Does anyone have any idea where I could order parts for this turbine? Is there a suitable replacement turbine we should be looking at? At last check, the turbine was putting out good power and passed all electrical checks.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your expertise<br>
<br>
