I installed wind turbines for short time during my tenure with a local contractor. We installed several in the area that are running well and saving their customers money on their electric bills. Some were installed on skinny towers with guide wires, some were thick towers without guide wires, and some were of the trellis design. Each installation meeting the specific site requirements requested by that customer.
Please contact me to discuss your alternative energy thoughts and ideas.
While I do not personally install wind turbines any more, I will certainly help you and guide you in any way that I can. I have consulted with a couple of local property owners prior to them contacting an actual installation contractor and instructed them on what to look for and what to avoid.
After I discovered that I did not enjoy hanging by a small rope 100 feet in the air, I quickly changed my career path to
something more sensible for me. In other words, I quickly discovered I did NOT enjoy climbing up a 100 foot tower to service the generator that was connected to the blades. The 1st was fun, I became concerned on the 2nd, and the 3rd was just out of the question (laughing out loud as I type this). But during the first installation, I did take a few pictures and produce a video. Please enjoy...
