ITS is proud to be UK representatives for the medium to large scale commercial market for Flower Turbines.  Flower Turbines is the global leader in high-performance vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). ITS support EPC contractors, renewable energy installers, developers, and commercial organisations in integrating Flower Turbines’ innovative wind systems into  projects across the UK.

Whether you are enhancing an existing solar installation or designing a new multi-technology renewable system, Flower Turbines delivers a unique combination of efficiency, elegance, and outstanding performance—especially where traditional wind and solar solutions face limitations.

Additional information and technical specifications available on the Flower Turbines website. 

The Cluster Effect – Maximum Output From Minimal Space

One of the most powerful advantages of Flower Turbines is the Cluster (Bouquet) Effect.
Most wind turbines experience performance losses when installed close together. Flower Turbines do the opposite. With four turbines positioned together producing more than eight turbines separately.

1M Tulip Turbine Installation Guide

1.15 m Flower Tulip Wind Turbine

The 1.15 m Flower Tulip Turbine is a compact vertical-axis wind turbine designed for both off-grid and grid-connected applications. Standing at approximately 1.5 m high, it integrates advanced electronics to charge 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V battery systems, or to connect to the grid when deployed in larger multi-turbine “bouquet” configurations.

Mounted on a fixed pole, the Flower Tulip is ideal for:

• Off-grid applications such as outdoor lighting, signage, and small displays

• Hybrid wind-and-solar systems, where it supplements solar generation during low-light and winter conditions

• Scalable bouquet installations, delivering significantly higher output through the patented Bouquet Effect

The turbine is supplied as standard in white and is engineered for long-term durability in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) design for omni-directional wind capture

• Ultra-low cut-in wind speed for generation in light winds

• Bouquet Effect technology increases output when turbines are grouped and correctly oriented

• Suitable for off-grid, hybrid, or grid-connected systems

• Quiet operation with a visually appealing, architectural form
