Small Wind Turbine Checklist

Is wind right for me?

 

1. Do you have an open, exposed location away from buildings and trees?

 

2. Is adequate wind resource available (contact us for a report)?

 

3. Do local regulations and codes allow for the installation of a wind turbine?

 

4. Are you comfortable with a 5-10 year payback on your investment?

 

If you answered yes to these questions, a small wind turbine may be a good fit for you. Contact us to learn more today.


The Right Sized Wind Turbine

Wind Power for Local Use

Not too long ago, all farms had a windmill for pumping water. Most of those towers are now used for novelty as antiques, but the concept of using wind to your advantage lives on. While large wind turbines are beginning to dominate the landscape, they are intended to produce electricity for mass consumption. Small wind turbines are designed to produce just enough power for their location, keeping the size and cost down. Most residential and agricultural applications will find it possible to generate their entire electric load with the right turbine/tower combination.

Wind Power Today

Wind power has been used for centuries to do work, but there is much more at work than just spinning blades. Today's technology has enhanced turbine design to capture every watt of power possible. Combined with improved site assessment tools, your wind turbine design and location will provide the optimum production possible.
