Wind Turbine Mounting and Tower Designs

Mounting your wind turbine is one of the most critical components of installing a wind turbine system. As a general rule of thumb, higher is almost always better. Below is a great playlist of videos about wind turbine tower design and installation, including the SkyMAX Wind™ roof mount.

To obtain maximum output from our wind turbines, your tower should be a minimum of 30 feet higher than all other objects in a 300 foot radius. Your wind turbine should be above tree tops and buildings for best performance. Wind turbines mounted on rooftops or connected to the end of buildings will see less output due to turbulent wind "dirty wind." (Make sure to watch our video on where to site your wind turbine).

As a general rule for wind turbines, the higher the better. Even though you may not be able to have a 60 foot tower, battery charging and/or grid feeding power is still obtainable on roof tops and short towers. The wind can blow 24 hours a day while solar is limited to 8 hours or less depending on the time of year and geo-location.
