[RE-wrenches] small wind generators

[William Dorsett]

>From a windy Kansas perspective, I have watched for decades turbines go up
and then after a couple years come down. I think it goes along with the fact
that climbing a tower or lowering it is nervous making enough that after a
few years, even if the owners understand electronics, they tend to neglect
the systems to death. Big wind can have a dedicated and trained staff that
small wind can't afford.  That's why I prefer solar.

Hello Wrenches,

Are the new Air 403 wind machines more reliable than in times past?

I'm also looking at a Sunforce 600 W machine.  How do these small turbines
hold up these days?

Thanks,

Drake
