We utilize windfarms across the Mid-Atlantic and the Midwest. The specific areas were chosen because the wind is so strong. And in many places, like the Appalachian Mountains, the local people are anxious to diversify away from the coal industry. Since the wind turbines take up so little actual land, the landowners can continue to use their property like they always have.

If you would like to become an installer of our products, we have enlisted the expertise of our business partner Core Information, to develop a training course to cover all aspects of carrying out Site Surveys, Planning Applications, System Designing, Safety, Regulations and Installation. Furthermore, we have developed a Technical Service which is designed to give your business full technical support at all stages of carrying out installations for your customers.

There is a "swishing sound" associated with wind generators, but with new turbine technologies, noise has been reduced as compared to older turbines. The Desert Sky site is in a rural setting some distance from homes. Our experience is that native and farm animals are not bothered by the noise from wind projects. The American Wind Energy Association has the following to say about noise, "Large, modern wind turbines have become very quiet.

Wind turbines have an excellent safety record; there are currently over 60,000 turbines operating worldwide and there is no record of a member of the public being injured due to ice, blade throw or tower collapse.

GE Wind Energy, a unit of GE Power Systems and part of General Electric, is the manufacturer of the Hoosac turbines.

A wind turbine, which is installed on top of a tall tower, collects kinetic energy from the wind and converts it to electricity that is compatible with a home's electrical system. In a residential application with net metering, a home is served simultaneously by the wind turbine and a local utility.

Most small turbines have very few moving parts and do not require any regular maintenance. They are designed for a long life (up to 20 years) and operate completely automatically.

This depends on many factors. Follow the Help With Planning step-by-step guide to determine the financial feasibility of a system.
