Do I Have a Good Site for Wind?

Deciding the placement of a turbine, called siting, requires professional assistance. The staff of WindSolarUSA, Inc. have completed extensive wind training to enable proper siting for maximum production. Basically, a turbine site should be upwind of any obstacles, 500 feet from the nearest obstacle, and 30 feet above the highest obstacle. The biggest mistake one can make regarding wind turbines is not placing them on a high enough tower. WindSolarUSA staff will also look at the elevation and topography of your area, the height of deciduous (lose leaves) and coniferous (evergreens) tree lines, projected growth of nearby trees, and plans for future land development.
