Some general information about height and noise issues for small wind electric systems: Most zoning and aesthetic concerns can be addressed by supplying objective data. They also could be concerned about noise.
In addition to zoning issues, your neighbors or homeowners' association might object to a wind turbine that blocks their view. They can tell you if you will need to obtain a building permit and provide you with a list of requirements. You can find out about the zoning restrictions in your area by contacting the local building inspector, board of supervisors, and/or planning board. Data from a Local Small Wind System - If there is a small wind turbine system in your area, you or your installer may be able to obtain information on the annual output of the system and also wind speed data, if available.īefore you invest in a small wind energy system, you should research local zoning ordinances and restrictions from neighborhood covenants.The most useful readings are those taken at hub height, which is the elevation at the top of the tower where the wind turbine is going to be installed. The measurement equipment must be set high enough to avoid turbulence created by trees, buildings, and other obstructions. Wind measurement systems are available for costs as low as $600–$1,200. Measurement System - Direct monitoring by a wind resource measurement system at a site provides the clearest picture of the available resource.Examining those deformation can tell an installer a lot about wind energy. For instance, trees, especially conifers or evergreens, can be permanently deformed by strong winds.
