Wind power is a great alternative to Solar when weather conditions permit. While a turn-key wind installation is often less expensive than Solar per maximum output, the actual power produced is more difficult to predict. Average wind speeds can be found on the web for particular areas, extensive wind speed averages on your property are harder to come by.
For clients who want to use Wind power, we often recommend a Hybrid system that incorporates both Wind and Solar power to ensure more reliable sources of alternative energy.
