Design changes are primarily found within the body of the turbine:
- New microprocessor-based controller.
- New "wave washer" combined with looser bearing-to-body tolerances are incorporated into the face bearing set. This results in lower compression on the bearing/race, with quieter running and lower startup speed. It also lowers stress on the bearings and shaft when subject to twisting forces during normal operation.
- New series of carbon-reinforced blades.
- More robust tower clamp and yaw assembly for stronger and more secure tower mounting.
- Improved powdercoating protection, as the body is acid etched and treated with alodine before powdercoating with a UV resistant marine paint.
- All hardware is a marine grade stainless steel.
- Assembly includes "Tef-gel" compound to resist corrosive activity between dissimilar metals like stainless steel and aluminum.
- Body and electronics are completely sealed for prevention of water ingress, even under brief immersion conditions.
