Small Wind Turbines Towers [RE-wrenches]

[David Blecker]

Mo,

Unless the customer lives on a high flat butte with no tree's or buildings, 
I would strongly encourage you to push him to a taller tower.  Tower height 
is no place to cut corners...small wind systems are challenged enough as it 
is to meet customer expectations.  It's hard for me to imagine why if he's 
willing to be spendy on a free-standing tower, he'd want to install 
something as small as the XL1.  The economics of this would go from bad to 
horrible.  By the way, Bergey does sell free-standing Rohn SSV and Monopole 
towers.  It wouldn't be hard to build a tower-top adapter for the XL1.

Just my $0.02
