>> Greetings Wrenches,
>>
>> Kelly Keilwitz of Whidbey Sun & Wind and I are planning for a project
>> that will be the installations for both the SEI PV and wind workshops
>> here next October. We're looking at a 140 to 160 foot tower with a
>> 12-15 foot diameter wind turbine and 2 to 3 KW of PV mounted at 60 to
>> 90 feet up the tower.
>>
>> The customer is interested in a tubular tower for aesthetic reasons.
>> I have no experience with these, and prefer the idea of a
>> three-legged freestanding tower like the Rohn SSV, both for mounting
>> PVs on and for climbing. On the other hand, I'm always up for a new
>> adventure, so I need to find out if a tubular tower is practical for
>> this project.
>>
>> Do any of you have experience with:
>> * Tall tubular towers
>> * Putting PVs on tubular towers
>>
>> Please share your experience, recommendations, warnings, hopes, and
>dreams. ;-)
>>
>> Thanks,
>>
