small wind Success StoriesCustomer Interviews
Paso Robles, CA - Joe Mathewson says permitting staff weren’t sure what to expect when he proposed the first small wind turbine in the county, but their ready acceptance of the project made for a smooth installation. Mathewson put up the 10 kW turbine and 100-foot tower himself. The permit cost $400, and the process took only a couple of weeks. He says county planners were primarily interested in the integrity of his tower foundation and electrical connections. Since the turbine was installed in the center of his property, he did not encounter any opposition from neighbors. Mathewson was so impressed with his system, which included a Davis VantagePro Weather System mounted 80 feet up the tower to measure wind speed and direction, that he has taken to selling small wind turbines on the side. “If you have a consistent wind resource, a suitable location, and want to reduce your electric bill, this is a good way to go,” he says.
