How to Build a
Low-Cost Wind Turbine

A step-by-step manual for constructing functional wind turbines using accessible materials — field-tested across off-grid communities in rural Africa.

Built for builders, not engineers with offices.

🛠️

Locally Sourced Materials

Every component can be sourced in rural markets across Sub-Saharan Africa — no specialist suppliers needed.

📐

Step-by-Step Instructions

Clear diagrams and written instructions designed for community builders, not engineering graduates.

🌍

Field-Tested

Developed and refined across real installations in off-grid communities in rural Africa.

Functional Output

Turbines built with this guide generate meaningful electricity for homes, schools, and small enterprises.

We are also building tomorrow's energy workforce.
Learn about our upcoming Harmattan Heroes programme — a national STEM wind energy competition for students across Côte d'Ivoire, launching early 2027 — and find out how you can support the work in the field.
