List of products by brand Braun

BRAUN Windturbinen GmbH is headquartered in Nauroth, in the Westerwald - where the wind has always played a role (as the Westerwald song goes).
Our product range includes the ANTARIS series of small wind turbines, with outputs ranging from 1.5 kW to 12.0 kW, which are used worldwide in grid connection, as heating support, as battery chargers or as stand-alone systems.
We also supply accessories for electrical micro-cogenerations up to 10.0 kW, as well as for small wind turbines based on the Savonius and Darrieus principles.

We, BRAUN Windturbinen GmbH

BRAUN Windturbinen GmbH is headquartered in Nauroth, in the Westerwald - where the wind has always played a role (as the Westerwald song says).

Geographically located around 1 hour north of Frankfurt am Main, the company has been successfully developing and manufacturing small wind turbines in the 1.5 kW to 12.0 kW power range for 28 years, and is now one of Europe's leading manufacturers.

In January 2009, the company was transformed from a sole proprietorship into a limited liability company (GmbH). We work according to our corporate principles to develop our business sustainably.

Our product range includes the ANTARIS series of small wind turbines, with outputs ranging from 1.5 kW to 12.0 kW, which are used worldwide in grid connection, as heating support, as battery chargers or as stand-alone systems. In addition, we supply accessories for electrical micro-cogenerations up to 10.0 kW, as well as for small wind turbines based on the Savonius and Darrieus principles. For customers wishing to generate electricity from hydropower, we have the right accessories.

Our in-house production of permanent magnet generators enables us to meet individual customer requirements. We round off our product range by repairing and rewinding all types of wind generators up to 20 kW.

As an international company, we work together with our national and international distribution partners to constantly set new standards in the field of small wind turbines with ANTARIS wind turbines.

Research and development, production and distribution are constantly expanding. For the year 2023, the company is forecasting a domestic share of over 60%, and a gradual increase over the next few years due to current developments in the German energy market.





FAQ - Pylontech LiFePO4 batteries & solar storage

1. What is a Pylontech battery used for in a photovoltaic system? +
A Pylontech battery stores the solar energy produced during the day so you can use it later (evening/night), increase self-consumption and, depending on the system configuration, provide backup power.
2. What type of lithium battery is Pylontech? +
Pylontech offers LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries, a chemistry known for its stability and durability in energy storage applications.
3. How do I choose the battery capacity (kWh) for Pylontech? +
Capacity depends on your consumption, the loads you want to supply, the autonomy you need, and your solar production. In self-consumption, sizing often aims to cover evening/night usage; off-grid systems are sized for 24/48 hours (or more) depending on constraints.
4. Can I expand my storage by adding Pylontech modules? +
Yes. A key advantage is modularity: you can increase capacity by adding modules, within the manufacturer’s recommendations and the inverter/charger limitations.
5. Is Pylontech compatible with all inverters? +
Compatibility depends on the inverter/charger model and integration requirements: system voltage, communication protocol (CAN / RS485), parameters and commissioning procedure. Always check the compatibility list and recommended settings before installation.
6. CAN or RS485: which communication should I use? +
It depends on the inverter and the chosen wiring/architecture. Some systems prefer CAN for battery data exchange, others use RS485. Follow the compatibility recommendations and commissioning guide.
7. Are Pylontech batteries suitable for off-grid systems? +
Yes, they can be suitable for off-grid use if the overall system is designed for autonomy: PV sizing, battery capacity, inverter power, and a backup strategy (generator, etc.) if needed.
8. Which accessories are useful with Pylontech batteries? +
Depending on your configuration: interconnection cables, mounting racks/supports, communication components and, for some ranges, control modules. These accessories help with integration, cable safety and maintenance.
9. Where can I find a commissioning guide (e.g., US5000)? +
Check our technical resources and installation guides (depending on the model). For example, Wattuneed provides a dedicated guide for installing Pylontech US5000 batteries: Pylontech US5000 installation guide.
