Wind speed estimator

FAQs

Do I need planning permission for installing a wind turbine? Expand
Planning permission is usually required, (the H1 can potentially be installed under permitted development rights), along with permission from the local energy network if the system is to be connected to the electricity grid which will be obtained by your qualified installer on your behalf.
Can I install a wind turbine myself? Expand

Our turbines also need to be installed by a qualified professional.

Will a wind turbine save me money on my electricty bill? Expand

If sited in a suitably windy location a small scale wind turbine can help lower electricity bills and provide energy day and night with zero emissions.

Can I combine a wind turbine with solar panels? Expand

It is a great complement to solar pv, as the performance of both systems peaks when the other drops.
