To make sure a small wind system is right for
you, are some things to consider:
-
You have at least 10 MPH average wind
sped. Best results at 12 MPH or more.
-
Your property is unobstructed from tall
buildings and trees. Ideally, you should have .5 acres or more.
-
The local zoning allows a structure that
is at least 45 tall.
-
Your local utility has an existing
interconnection agreement.
Look through the
Siting Wind Generators booklet
linked at left. It will help you determine the suitability of your location.
Once you have determined you have the right conditions for a wind system,
you will need to consider the best place on your property. Proper siting is
critical to the performance and longevity of the your investment. It can
make the difference between years of trouble free operation or continuous
frustration. (For details on your needs and requirements please
contact us with your questions)
