WHY WINDRAIL?

Three energy sources, one product:

WindRail produces year-round renewable
energy from wind, solar radiation and
pressure differences around buildings.

Easily integrable:
Due to its positioning on roof edges,
WindRail can be installed on existing
buildings with minimal changes.

Reduced energy costs:

Local energy production and consumption
reduces electricity demand and dependence
from the public grid and also reduces
CO2 emissions.

Customisable design:
Numerous configuration options regarding
shape, colour and illumination.

Reduced building costs:

WindRail includes numerous additional
functions which are usually provided by
separate installations.
High acceptance:
Very low impact on the environment
(minimal noise/shadow casting/excellent
protection for birds).

Maximum flexibility:
WindRail is based on a modular system,
providing tailor-made and cost-efficient
solutions for almost any kind of building.

WHAT IS WINDRAIL?
WindRail is an innovative electricity
generating system placed on the
roof edges of residential and
commercial/industrial buildings and is
able to make use of three renewable
energy sources:

1
Similar to the production of conventional
wind energy, WindRail uses natural wind
flow. A newly developed wind turbine
transforms this into electricity
silently and invisibly.

2
At the same time WindRail exploits
pressure differences originating from air
flow along the building facade and
towards the roof. Its positioning on roof
edges and special design enable
WindRail uniquely to make use of this
unexploited additional energy source.

3
WindRails specially formed housing is
coated with solar foil to produce solar
energy. The simultaneous production of
wind energy inside the housing cools down
the solar panels which in turn increases
their efficiency in comparison to ordinary
photovoltaic systems.
In addition to the production of electricity WindRail includes a number of
supplementary benefits such as facade rain
protection, in-built safety rail, lightning
protection, as well as rain and snow handling.
Furthermore, WindRail can be equipped
with additional functions (e.g. building
maintenance unit monorail, rain water
storage, weather station, anti-collision
lighting, building illumination
and advertising).

Simple installation:
WindRail is transportable by standard
carriers and is easy to install through a base
frame and click-in functionality.
Simple maintenance:
No external scaffolding required thanks to
its pullback function.
