The Netherlands, which has always been a symbol ofwind energyintroduce an extraordinary innovation for the home: the LIAM F1 UWTa compact, silent and efficient turbine, capable of producing up to 1,500 kWh per year. Designed to fit on the roofs of urban homes, this technology represents a breakthrough for energy self-sufficiency. Thanks to its ability to integrate with solar panels, it offers a complete system to reduce utility costs and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Although today it is synonymous with sustainable innovation, the Netherlands has experienced a past linked to heavy industry and the massive use of fossil fuels. In the 1970s, the country faced serious problems of air pollution and lack of space, aggravated by the high population density and the risks associated with rising sea levels.
These critical issues have pushed the Netherlands to invest in renewable energy, transforming them into global leaders in the sector. Today, the LIAM F1 UWT represents the symbol of this evolution: a compact turbine, designed to be installed on the roofs of urban homes, capable of producing from 300 to 2,500 kWh per year, approximately half the energy consumption of an average family.
Traditional wind turbines, with their imposing size and strong visual and environmental impact, have often been criticized for occupying large areas of land and posing a danger to birds. The new generation of turbines, however, aims to solve these problems through an innovative design.
There LIAM F1 UWTproduced by the Dutch company The Archimedesstands out for its helical shape inspired by Archimedes’ spiral. With a diameter of just 1.5 meters and a weight of less than 100 kg, the turbine automatically adapts to the direction of the wind, optimizing energy production even with weak winds, starting from just 5 m/s. Thanks to its extremely silent operation, it is perfect for home use, avoiding the typical noises of conventional turbines.
The combination of turbine and solar panels
A great strong point of the LIAM F1 UWT it is its ability to work in synergy with other renewable sources, such as solar panels. The turbine can convert up to 88% of the wind’s kinetic energy into usable energy, significantly reducing dependence on the electricity grid. During periods of poor ventilation, solar energy can act as a backup source, ensuring a constant and sustainable supply.
This combination of technologies represents an ideal solution for those who want to reduce energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions, actively contributing to the ecological transition.
The European Union continues to invest in the development of infrastructure dedicated to renewable energy, with the aim of decarbonising its energy systems. Recent reports show that the overproduction of solar energy has already led to a significant reduction in grid electricity demand. The spread of technologies such as LIAM F1 UWT could further accelerate this trend, making homes energy independent. Here are all the updated technical specifications in the Archimedes brochure
