QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY.

WindIQ, LLC is a distributed renewable energy infrastructure company developing compact vertical-axis wind turbines for localized generation.

A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) rotates around a vertical shaft. WindIQ’s unit is about 30 feet tall and 10 feet wide, so it can sit closer to buildings and loads than a conventional large horizontal-axis machine.

Large wind projects need land, spacing, ports, roads, and cranes to move and set long blades. WindIQ is a compact distributed generator for sites where that logistics chain is impractical. It is not a wind farm and is not meant to replace utility-scale renewables.

No. WindIQ is meant to layer with solar, storage, hydro, diesel backup, and remaining grid service. Wind is useful at night and in low-solar hours. Diesel can stay as backup without remaining the only source.

Centralized plants send power through long transmission and distribution networks. That path adds cost, losses, and failure points — especially on islands and weaker grids. Typical T&D losses are often cited around 5–6% on developed systems and 10–20% or more on weaker ones; Philippine published ranges have often been around 8–13% depending on region, utility, and period. Those figures are industry context, not WindIQ performance claims.

High-need niche markets: islands, coastal communities, telecom sites, resorts, industrial facilities, and weak-grid areas. The Philippines is the opening market, with expansion into Southeast Asia as the platform grows.

Buying a standalone turbine may be an option. However, the goal is projects and partnerships that last — operating, supporting, and staying with deployments, not a one-time hardware sale as the whole story.
