People have been utilizing the power of the wind for centuries. Windmills have been used for centuries, but only recently have become more popular for generating electricity. A lot of people have romantic notions about having a windmill and generating their own power. (Myself included.)
A wind turbine requires several things in order to work. First, the tower should be at least 10 m taller than anything else within 100 m. Second is the balance of system components (batteries, regulator & inverter). Lastly, and most important, is WIND! Lots of it! An average wind speed of 20 kph is needed to generate a meaningful amount of power from a wind turbine. The best way to determine how much wind you have is to place a wind meter at the proposed site and monitor the wind for at least 3 months. This will give a good indication for a small turbine (3000 watts or less), larger turbines projects may require longer monitoring due to larger investment and payback concerns. We can supply wind monitoring equipment on a rental or purchase basis.
