The success of a vertical axis wind turbine largely depends on the site where it's installed. Factors such as wind speed and consistency play a crucial role in determining the turbine's efficiency. Conduct a thorough site assessment to identify optimal locations free from obstructions that might disrupt wind flow. We can help with a site assessment and data collection to confirm site potential. Elevated areas with consistent wind patterns, free from obstructions are ideal for maximising energy production.

Vertical axis wind turbines come in various sizes and capacities to suit different energy needs. Consider your energy requirements and choose a turbine size that aligns with your goals. Smaller turbines are suitable for residential applications, while larger turbines may be more appropriate for commercial or industrial use. Ensure that the selected turbine can generate sufficient power to meet your energy demands or pair it with other renewable generation methods like solar.

Before installing a vertical axis wind turbine, it's essential to familiarise yourself with local permits and regulations governing wind energy systems. Obtain necessary permits and adhere to zoning regulations to ensure compliance with legal requirements. Consult with local authorities or renewable energy experts to navigate the regulatory landscape and obtain approvals for your project. We can help with getting these in place, noting that these will differ for industrial, commercial, rural and residential zones. Please note that most high density and medium density residential locations are unlikely to be suitable for wind generation for a number of reasons.

Proper installation and ongoing maintenance are critical for the performance and longevity of vertical axis wind turbines. We can provide experienced technicians to install the turbine according to our manufacturer’s specifications. Implementing a regular maintenance schedule to inspect components, address any issues promptly and optimise turbine efficiency can minimise downtime and maximise energy production.

Vertical axis wind turbines offer a clean and sustainable energy solution with minimal environmental impact. Assess the environmental implications of installing a wind turbine, including noise levels, wildlife concerns and visual aesthetics. Choose locations and turbine models that minimise disruption to the surrounding ecosystem while maximising energy production.
