Atlas S67. Built once. 25 years of power.
Meet ATLAS — the world's best-selling vertical wind turbine, capable of generating power even by hand. Trusted at Arctic research centres, on California homes, and aboard Maersk and MSC fleet ships — wherever the wind is gusty, turbulent, or shifts direction.
This purchase includes the generator with built-in IoT charge controller. Blade set sold separately — three options for your site's wind profile.
Horizontal turbines need clean, steady wind from one direction. Atlas thrives on the real-world wind found at homes and urban sites — gusty, turbulent, constantly shifting. Atlas captures wind from any direction without yawing, generates in turbulent flow where horizontals stall, and self-starts in light, shifting gusts.

Atlas uses the same premium 15 kW continuous-rated motor as the Magnum. At Atlas's typical 1 kW output the motor runs at less than 7% load — cold-running, near-zero copper losses, service life exceeding 30 years.
The motor's 15 kW continuous rating is what it can sustain indefinitely without overheating — set by the Class 200°C wire insulation, 4 kg copper mass for heat absorption, and passive cooling of the housing. The 22 kW peak rating is the short-term overload capacity for gusts, limited by the N42 magnet demagnetization threshold and stator iron saturation. For Atlas, which typically outputs 1 kW, this means the motor runs at less than 7% load — almost no copper losses (which fall with the square of current), no measurable temperature rise, and a service life that can exceed 30 years.
Wind power available follows the formula P = ½ × ρ × A × V³ × Cp × η, where wind speed (V) is cubed — small increases in wind speed produce dramatic increases in output. Atlas's power coefficient (Cp) reaches 0.28 in good wind thanks to skewed magnets and curved aerodynamic blades. Combined with 92% electrical efficiency, Atlas extracts ~26% of available wind energy — strong for a vertical design that prioritizes consistency over peak.

Bars scaled to 3.3 kW max. The Low-Wind blade set (most common residential choice) covers 2–20 m/s. Switch to Moderate-Wind blades for 25 m/s sites, or High-Wind blades (6 blades, smaller swept area) for storm-prone 35 m/s coastal exposure. ⚠️ Low-Wind blades must be removed before sustained winds above 20 m/s. Below 6 m/s, a typical horizontal-axis turbine would not generate at all — Atlas keeps producing.
Wekraft operates in the United Kingdom and 37 other countries — the world's leading household wind turbine and solar panel manufacturer. Our European production facilities produce over 270 components in-house, from generators and electronic cards to blades and mounting hardware. Atlas is built once, then operates for 25+ years. Stock-dependent delivery from one day to four months.

Honest answers on output, payback, siting and the three blade sets.
It depends on your average wind speed. At a typical home site of about 5 m/s the Atlas produces roughly 1,200–1,700 kWh per year; on a windy coastal or hilltop site of 6–7 m/s, around 2,000–3,500 kWh. Use the "Will it pay for itself?" calculator on this page to estimate the output for your exact wind speed.
At your local electricity price of about £0.27/kWh and the £799 price, the Atlas pays back faster the windier your site is — often within just a few years. After that the energy it generates is effectively free, and rising electricity prices shorten the payback further. Use the calculator on this page for an estimate at your exact wind speed.
The Atlas starts generating at just 2 m/s with its Low-Wind blades — about three times lower than a typical horizontal turbine. That very low cut-in means it keeps producing power in the light, gusty wind found around homes and in towns, not only on exposed sites.
Yes. As a vertical-axis turbine the Atlas is compact and omnidirectional — it captures wind from any direction without turning to face it, runs quietly, and handles the turbulent, shifting wind around buildings far better than a horizontal turbine. That makes it well suited to homes, rooftops and gardens.
Atlas comes with three swappable blade sets so you can tune it to your site: Low-Wind (2–20 m/s) is best for typical homes and starts in the lightest breeze; Moderate-Wind (4–25 m/s, up to 3.8 kW) suits windy inland and hill sites; and High-Wind (5–35 m/s, up to 4.5 kW) is built for exposed coasts and ridges.
For homes and built-up areas, vertical turbines like the Atlas usually win. They accept wind from any direction, start in lighter wind, run more quietly, and keep working in the turbulence and gusts that stall horizontal turbines. Horizontal turbines only tend to edge ahead on wide-open sites with steady, one-direction wind.
It is built to last. The Atlas uses a premium 15 kW continuous (22 kW peak) motor that runs at under 7% of its rating, so it barely works and is designed for a 30-year service life. With no gearbox, self-starting operation and corrosion-resistant laser-cut aluminium blades, it needs very little maintenance.
The Atlas is built from premium, corrosion-resistant aluminium — the same lightweight, marine-grade metal used in aircraft and boats. It shrugs off UV, salt and frost, which is why the Atlas is built once to keep generating for around 25 years of power. Aluminium is also 100% recyclable, so at the end of its long life the turbine can be fully recycled rather than scrapped — clean energy made from a sustainable material.
Yes. The Atlas is designed for grid-tied (on-grid) use with a compatible inverter and cabling, so it offsets the electricity your home draws from the grid and, where your supplier allows, can export any surplus. A charge controller and battery are not required for on-grid use.
No. Vertical-axis turbines have no fast-moving blade tips, so the Atlas runs quietly — quiet enough for residential gardens and rooftops. It is also designed and manufactured in Europe to high build-quality standards.

The Atlas has been running beautifully at our place — quiet, steady output even in light wind, and the MyWekraft app makes it easy to keep an eye on. Really impressed with the build quality.
Hello, I purchased the Atlas 10 kW wind turbine along with the blade set, and it's working perfectly. Assembling the blade set was a bit of a challenge, and a few screws were missing, but everything came together in the end. Delivery took slightly longer than expected, but I’m very happy with the final result. Many thanks to the Wekraft team. You have my full rating — 5 out of 5. I’m already considering buying an inverter as I plan to move fully off-grid. Wishing you all a great day. — Carina Magnus
I have set up 1 Wekraft vertical 5 kW turbine, 2 small 12V turbines (from China), and a water turbine in my little creek that provides 200W constantly. All were set up by myself. I am satisfied and not planning to sell the Wekraft.
Amazing product, working very efficiently. Impossible to find a similar alternative at this price point. Thank you Wekraft!
