Semtive intros quiet, efficient, and affordable wind turbines for home & business

By Michelle Froese | May 18, 2017

Semtive, a new American renewable energy company with headquarters in Silicon Valley, introduced NEMOI, one of the most efficient, safe, and affordable wind turbines for residential, commercial and industrial generation of power.

More than 95% of the Semtive turbine is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, a highly resilient and recyclable metal that is resistant to corrosion.

NEMOI uses a new turbine system that is reliable, environmentally friendly, and virtually noiseless. It produces clean renewable energy on and off the grid, from low to very high wind speeds. Energy from NEMOI is generated at about $.02 per kWh.

“Our vision was to create an efficient and socially impactful energy solution that can be used by anyone, anywhere in the world to democratize access to clean renewable energy, and NEMOI’s unique design and technology has allowed us to attain this goal,” explained Semtive CEO Ignacio Juarez.

Semtive uses advanced technology and R&D to create the NEMOI Wind Turbine System, which can work within a wide operating window. Thanks to the design of the blades and vertical axis, the inner side can generate torque at low wind speeds to start the turbine spinning.

In this way, the turbine can generate electricity from less than 10 RPMs of wind. NEMOI is also lightweight, and can be delivered and assembled in less than an hour anywhere in the world, operating with equal efficacy on or off the grid, from densely urban to rural environments and areas in urgent need of humanitarian relief.

“Our turbines are produced in America and distributed locally, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint and the shipment cost of traditional wind turbines,” said Juarez.
