About
Founded in 2024, Carnetic is a private headquartered in Sola, Norway with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Wind.
Carnetic is an early-stage startup focused on designing and building vertical axis wind turbines using eco-friendly materials. The flagship Carnetic 316 model measures 3.5m wide by 4.5m high with a swept area of approximately 16m² and produces around 3kW at 9-10 m/s wind speeds. The turbines feature laminated cedar wood blades (lasting 20+ years), low maintenance requirements (blade replacement in under an hour), and a claimed carbon footprint of 3.6g CO2/kWh—70% lower than conventional wind turbines and 90% lower than solar PV. Carnetic publishes complete design drawings under Creative Commons CC-BY license and aims to produce electricity for under €0.06/kWh. The company targets a global vision of installing one billion small turbines to replace coal-generated electricity (approximately 10,000 TWh/year). Manufacturing has begun at company facilities.
