INSTALLATION
This section assumes that you already plan
to buy a small wind energy system, have identified one that fits
your needs, and are ready to proceed with installation. If you're
still trying to decide on a system, see the "Wind
School" Primer on Small Wind Energy developed by Mike
Bergey of Bergey Windpower. For decision-making information, click
here.
Getting a good payback from a small wind
energy system depends not only on the strenth of your wind and
height of your tower, but also upon the financial
incentives available to reduce installation costs and maximize
the return for excess generation. These may include tax credits,
rebates, and net metering. AWEA's small wind home page includes
state-by-state
information on programs and policies that promote small wind projects.
- All small wind turbines, including those
not connected to the grid, require a local building
permit.
