Mica's Wind Turbine in France
We were fortunate enough to receive videos of Mica's wind turbine installation in France. This is one of our earliest wind turbines produced in 2010. Mica's location is great for wind power and he's taking advantage of the power potential of those crazy wind speeds. Thank you, Mica!Hello Jeff,My Wind Missouri in FranceGood day.Mica

Are Micro Wind Turbines a Danger to Birds?
Do Wind Turbines Kill Birds?
Here at Missouri Wind and Solar, we are often asked if wind turbines pose a threat to birds. We have quite a few wind turbines up at our store in Seymour, MO. There are several mounted on the rooftop as well as on a tower behind our facility and we have observed zero bird deaths in the decade since we've been in operation. In that time, we haven't had any customer reports of bird strikes, either.
Mega-watt wind turbines have had some incidences of bird fatal

Months later, utilities are still unreliable and can go out without notice.A note from Heber:"Jeff, Brian from Missouri Wind and Solar thanks a lot. Here are my 11 blade PMA, 10/100 watts panel 12v system that we install after Maria Hurricane through Puerto Rico."

Hensley's Wind Turbine Tower Installation
You may remember Hensley Isaac's 11 Blade Freedom II Missouri Wind Turbine project from May 2015. After some consideration and resourcefulness, he's decided to re-site his wind turbine and design a completely new wind turbine tower. He's continuously working to put hard work into his wind power setup and make improvements where he can.He's sited a new spot for his Missouri Wind and Solar Freedom II wind turbine
No amount of work was spared and no shortcuts were taken going into

Tore’s Wind Turbine Update from the Falcon to Raptor G5 Blades
Many of our YouTube followers are familiar with Tore’s ongoing wind turbine project in Norway. He recently ordered the new Raptor Generation 5 Wind Turbine Blades to replace and compare his Missouri Wind and Solar Falcon Blades. So far he’s had less noise and a cut-in speed of just 7 MPH. For those of you unfamiliar with cut-in speed, that’s the MPH speed at which the turbine starts producing usable power.
Here’s the video where he received and unboxed his new blade set (and submersib
