Urban rooftop wind energy · Czech Republic

Wind energy that fits where buildings already stand

Flotier is a rooftop wind system engineered for commercial and industrial buildings — generating clean electricity at wind speeds and in wind conditions traditional turbines can't use. Built to complement solar, not compete with it.

Who are you exploring Flotier as?

Why this exists

Traditional turbines were never designed for cities

Urban wind is turbulent, low-speed, and constantly changing direction — the opposite of the steady, open-field conditions large turbines need. Flotier's aerodynamic design was built specifically for the airflow that actually exists on top of buildings.

✕ Traditional turbines

  • Require steady wind, typically 25+ mph (≈11 m/s)
  • Struggle with turbulent, multi-directional airflow
  • Need open land or a tall mast — not building-integrated
  • Visible moving blades, noise and vibration concerns

✓ Flotier

  • Generation starts from 3.5 m/s, with 6 m/s+ as the practical minimum — engineered for low, variable urban wind speeds
  • Engineered for turbulent, multi-directional airflow
  • Sits on the rooftop edge — no land, no mast, no planning application
  • No visible moving parts, silent operation, no vibration

How it works

A three-step aerodynamic process

1

Building edge effect

Wind naturally accelerates as it passes over a rooftop edge — energy that is normally lost.

2

Airfoil amplification

A patented geometry captures that accelerated airflow and creates a low-pressure zone that drives it further.

3

Electricity generation

The amplified flow drives an internal, industrial-grade permanent magnet generator, producing three-phase AC voltage that varies with rotor speed. It's routed through a switchboard to a converter, which turns it into DC for charging battery storage.

The complementarity insight

Wind generates when solar can't

Solar peaks midday, in summer. Wind peaks at night, in winter, and in overcast weather — exactly when solar output drops. Combining both closes the gap that solar-only systems leave open.

~30%
Solar + Flotier
55–70%
