Small turbines can provide up to 35% of a home's electricity needs. The amount of electricity generated by a small-scale wind turbine depends on the speed and direction of the wind in your area.
We are qualified to supply and install wind turbines. We have experience installing turbines to homes, local authority projects, farms, industrial units, rurally based properties, commercial offices and schools within the UK.
Getting you started
- Choose your site - Choose a site where the turbine can be mounted as high as possible. You'll need somewhere where there are few surrounding obstructions such as trees and tall buildings.
- Wind speed - Get a reliable estimate of the wind speed at the site of your turbine.
- Planning permission - Ask your local council if planning permission is needed. It s also good practice to speak to your neighbours at early stage to smooth over any initial objections.
- Connecting to the national grid - Contact your electricity supplier during the planning phase if you'd like to connect your turbine to the national grid. You may need permission to connect and your electricity supplier may charge a fee.
- Insurance - Speak to your home insurance provider to see if it's able to cover your turbine for repair, replacement and theft.
- Ask manufacturers for the specifications of their products when choosing a turbine, including the rated wind speed and energy generated.
