Small Wind Turbine Better Installed on Freestanding Masts

A small wind turbine should be installed on a ground-level mast next to the building . In a place in the garden or company premises that is as freely exposed to the wind as possible from the main wind direction.

Safest Option:

• Placing a turbine on a mast a      safe distance from structures minimizes safety risks to people and property.      Maintenance is also safer and easier to access when a turbine is installed      at ground level.

Accessing better wind:

• Each foot of additional mast      height can access faster, smoother wind. Even a modest increase of 10-20      feet can significantly boost a turbine’s power output.

Reduced Noise Impact:

• A greater distance from homes      means any turbine noise will be far less noticeable and less likely to      exceed noise ordinances.
