Is
Wind Right for you? Wind turbines are an
effective source of renewable energy in many areas across
the world. The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA)
estimates there are as many as 13 million homes in the
United States with a viable wind resource.
To make sure a small wind system is right for you,
there things to consider: |
|
| |
• You have
at least 5 MPH (2.0 m/s) average wind speed for the Polaris
America 1, 3, 5 and 10kW turbines and
6 MPH (2.5 m/s) average wind speed for the Polaris
America 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000kW
turbines. Best results at 12 MPH (5.4 m/s) or more.
• The ideal location for a wind turbine is 20’above
any surrounding object (trees, roof tops, hills,
tall buildings) within a 250 foot radius. This generally
means your property should be at least ½
acre or larger in size.
• The local zoning allows a structure that is at
least 42 feet (12.8m) tall (see “Getting Connected
Consumer Guide”)
• Your local utility has an existing interconnection
agreement (see “Getting Connected Consumer
Guide”) |
Once you have determined you have
the right conditions for a wind system, you will need to consider
the best place on your property.
Proper siting is critical to the performance and longevity
of your investment. It can make the difference between years
of trouble free operation or continuous frustration
This guide is a precursor to investing in a small residential
scale wind turbine. Whether your reason for investing is because
of your concern for the environment, helping reduce foreign
fuel imports or pure economics, we at Polaris
America want to make sure you get the most from
your wind turbine. Before making any investment in small wind,
be sure to review this guide carefully, ask lots of questions
and once you feel confident, call your dealer
