wind speed at light speed
Accurate, affordable wind Lidars for remote wind measurements.
We are ZX Lidars
Our wind Lidars are deployed globally onshore, offshore and mounted on structures such as wind turbines for wind energy and meteorological applications.
Reduce your onshore wind project and financial uncertainty by measuring wind characteristics higher than a met mast and by mobilising measurements across a whole site with wind Lidar. Be flexible within your planning applications by using a low visual impact, low height device.
Wind resource assessment and measurements onshore
Bankable standalone wind data in simple and complex terrain
Extreme environments, proven operation for 10 years
10-300m range - the widest range available of any Lidar
Reduce your offshore wind farm project and financial uncertainty by measuring wind characteristics higher than a met mast and by mobilising measurements across a whole site with wind Lidar. Integrated in to all major Floating Buoy platforms.
Wind resource assessment and measurements offshore
Responsible for 95%+ of all new offshore wind measurements globally
£150bn of finance invested in clean energy from ZX 300M data
10-300m range - the widest range available of any Lidar

We are 100% Lidars
We are specialists. We focus 100% on wind Lidars (Lidar / laser anemometers) and wind Lidar measurements. We have a unique history of innovation, world firsts and were the first to bring Lidars to the commercial market for wind energy. We are led by our customer’s needs and we are positively driving towards a better, more competitive wind industry.
Ease of Use
Our products don’t ordinarily need planning permission and are easy to mobilise and move across different sites and operate in all terrains – simple, complex and forested.
Our Lidars are built to last and have a proven track record of achieving more than 10 years operation, and across 1000’s of deployments globally with a low through-life cost.
Reliable Bankable Data
Our Lidars provide reliable data, accepted by consultants in simple and complex terrain around the world. Our systems are calibrated, they are validated by DNV, Deutsche WindGuard, Natural Power and UL, and have achieved Classification according to IEC 61400-12-1.
Wind data, as a service
We provide access to low cost, accurate and reliable wind measurements from industry-leading wind Lidars, and options for Sodars and met masts to suit every project requirement. We support ZX Lidars, Vaisala, Leosphere and AQSystem.
Our Trusted Service Providers work closely with us to provide global Lidar services locally for your wind energy projects.
