February 7, 2023 – Katrick Technologies has designed a panel system for harnessing windpower that “uses a wider range of wind frequencies and speeds than traditional turbines”. The panels use individually acting aerofoils to capture kinetic energy and convert it to electricity, with the potential to generate 22,000-kWh of electricity annually per panel.

The panels’ smaller size makes them easier to build and install while maintaining a significant surface area within the working space, says Katrick, adding they can be fitted to existing structures within urban and residential environments. Because of their size, the company says these panels are also straightforward to install, and can be deployed “on any scale due to their modular design and rapid deployment”.
