We are please to be able to supply and fit top of the range Wind Turbines.

We have put together some basic information, "shown below" That will hopefully enable you to make a decision about the usefulness of Wind Turbines and how they could help you get cheaper Electricity.

We are fitting then now and the reports we are getting back are showing great savings, and you will be seen to be doing your bit for the environment. If you would like information on prices and erection details please get in touch.

Basic requirements

1. Get a reliable estimate of the winds to be expected at the proposed site. There is no substitute for actual measurements. The turbine manufacturers should be prepared to help. You can get an estimate of the annual mean wind speed for a given location by entering the OS grid reference into the UK wind speed database.

2. Mount the turbine on as high a tower as possible and well clear of obstructions, but do not go to extremes. Easy access will be required for erection and foundations for the tower may be needed depending on the size and tower type. It is also important to ensure that the wind turbine can be easily lowered for inspection and maintenance.

3. Try to have a clear, smooth fetch to the prevailing wind, e.g. over open water or smooth ground. If possible site the turbine on a smooth hill.

4. Use cable of adequate current carrying capacity (check with the turbine supplier. This is particularly important for low voltage machines). Cable costs can be substantial.

5. Consult your local council as to whether you need planning permission. You should try to minimise the environmental impact of the turbine, and it will be helpful to inform your neighbours of your plans at early stage.

6. For larger machines you may have to pay rates. This can make a big difference to the economics of the installation, again you should find this out by consulting your local council.
