From flat sheet to control panel: how the Atlas body is made

Every TESUP Atlas has a body under its blades, and that body does far more than hold the turbine up. It is where wind and solar power meet. Here is how it goes from a flat metal sheet to the control panel of a complete household energy system.

Cut before it is bent

The body starts as a flat sheet. Before any bending, the openings are cut: a window for the screen and holes for the MC4 connectors, the control knob, the sensor port and the antenna. Cutting first keeps every opening exactly where it belongs once the sheet takes its final shape.

Bent on a press brake

The sheet is then formed on a press brake around a round tool. One smooth bend gives the body its rounded shape and makes it much stiffer than a flat panel, so it stays true on a windy roof for years. Each cover is bent the same way, which is why every Atlas body lines up with its blades and flanges without forcing.

The front panel

The finished front panel is the part you use. On the left are the MC4 connectors: one pair for the main output to your inverter or battery, and the alternative inputs for wind and solar. In the middle, a red LED screen shows the live voltage, so you can see at a glance what the system is doing. Next to it are the control knob and the sensor port.

Using standard MC4 connectors means wind turbines and solar panels plug straight in, with no special tools and no loose terminals on the roof.

On a real roof

Here is a complete system on a city rooftop. A TESUP Magnum and a row of flexible solar panels are connected to the Atlas through MC4 connectors. The Atlas then feeds the inverter, which sits in a weatherproof cabinet on the same roof.

The blades are bent here too

The same care goes into the Atlas blades. They are bent to shape, painted and checked before they are packed for assembly.

What it means for you

A body that is cut, bent and fitted with care is a body you never have to think about. Your wind turbine and solar panels plug in with standard connectors, the screen shows you the voltage, and the whole system runs from one tidy panel.
