To find out if wind power is right for your location, call a local weather station or airport to find out what your average wind speed is. If you have at least a 12 mph wind speed then give us a call to size a turbine that is right for your application!

I know of an inventor that offers a multi-bladed wind generator that claims his will work at wind speeds as low as 5 mph
