[RE-wrenches] Recommendations for 10kW wind turbine

[roger dixon]

Bergey, Jacobs/Wind turbine Industries, ARE (Abundant Renewable Energy) and
Ventera all offer 10kW units.  The first two companies have been around for
decades.  The latter two are newer to the market, but are being built and
installed, have verifiable track records, etc.  Ventera also has a 2kw solar
option for their turbine system.  I would advise that he buy the tower with
the turbine as a complete engineered system.  It will be made to support the
equipment on top and it is made to bolt together in the field without
needing to cobble up some sort of tower attachment plate for the turbine.
It also avoids the risk of an unintended tower collapse or other structural
issue.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Recommendations for 10kW wind turbine

 

Hello Wrenches,

 

I have a customer from Saskatchewan that is wintering in Yuma that wants to
take a 10kW+/- grid tie wind turbine back home this spring. His average
annual wind speed is 6.9 m/s. He will arrange for the tower and
installation. It looks like there are many wind turbine companies cropping
up so I would like some advice and/or recommendations from the air wrenches
on the board.

 

Kindest Regards,

 

Larry Crutcher
