Wind Turbine Installation Services
Small wind turbines are well suited to rural areas where there is a constant and strong wind flow. The buildings of urban areas tend to block the wind flow, making them an unsuitable site for wind energy generation. In a rural area where winds are consistent and strong, and there is no electricity network connection, it will likely be cost-effective to install a small wind turbine. With a rated power of 2kW the ThinAir Wind Turbine is perfect for powering your household.
The cost of the foundation and wiring of the wind turbine installation is an additional cost.
Installation of the Thinair Wind turbine tower requires a steel-reinforced concrete foundation (plan available). It is a permitted activity in some rural zones, and this will depend on your council’s renewable energy rulings. Your wind turbine may require resource consent to be installed.
COMPLIANCESome of the power system installation work can be done by yourself if you prefer. If you choose this option it’s important to make sure that all electrical work complies with New Zealand electrical standards, and that it is all certified accordingly.
Before starting your wind turbine installation, it’s important that you receive approval to connect your wind power to the electricity grid. This needs to be confirmed before you begin the wind turbine installation. Get in touch with both your lines company and electricity retailer. A small wind turbine installation expert will be able to assist you with this process.
Remember too to check with your local council before starting the installation of your wind turbine. It’s vital that your installation complies with any local council regulations.
