TIP: The power output of a wind turbine decreases roughly 3% for every 1,000'of elevation above sea level due to lower air pressure.
If you do not have a wind gauge, you can get a rough idea of wind speed using the guidlines below.
Now, it is time to consider site specific issues associated with installing the hybrid solar wind system. The most important factor in maximizing the performance of your wind generator is the correct siting on your property. The better the siting, the greater the performance. Small increases in average site specific wind speeds result in dramatic increases in energy output of your wind generator. For example, an increase in wind speed of 10% (10 mph - 11 mph; 4.5 m/s - 5 m/s) results in approximately a 30% increase in the power available from the wind. Therefore, the better the location the better the performance. As a rule, the small wind generator should be mounted as high and as far away from obstructions as possible.
● Two basic necessities for a good hybrid site pick are average wind speed and low ground turbulence. The lower the turbulence or buffering, the less stress you will put on your wind generator and the more energy it will produce.
● A good rule of thumb if your tower is downwind from a building it should be 20' - 30' above the height of the building as well as any barrier such as a stand of trees that are closer than a 500' radius.
● Surface Roughness: Rough ground is land covered with small bushes, trees or other obstructions. Smooth land is an area covered only by grass or dirt. The smoother the ground, the less the friction. The rougher the ground the greater the friction, thereby requiring the tower to be higher.
● Place your tower on the highest land point around your home as practical. There are circumstances where the highest point available may not be the best place for your tower. Highest land nearby may be awkward to get to, may be too far away from where you need the power, or may expose your wind turbine to potentially damaging turbulent conditions.
● How high is your tower? Hands down, the biggest mistake a homeowner can make with a small wind turbine is putting the turbine on too short of a tower. Like solar in the full sun with no shade, any renewable energy source must have good access to the fuel that drives the electricity. There is nearly 100% more power available in 10 MPH winds than 8 MPH winds.
Never attach the tower to your house. If the tower were attached anywhere to a structure, the structure itself would begin to vibrate ever so slightly. This reverberation would vibrate the building with the possiblity over time of structural damage.
In today's world, facing climate change and rising energy costs, renewable sources like wind and solar shine brighter than ever. These abundant, clean resources offer a path to energy independence, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and a more sustainable future. But how can we, as individuals, tap into this potential? Enter the exciting world of DIY renewable energy kits, with Blue Pacific Solar leading the charge.
Wind and solar energy work beautifully together. Wind turbines harness the power of moving air, converting it into electricity. Solar panels, on the other hand, capture the sun's radiant energy and transform it into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. This complementary nature ensures a more reliable and consistent energy supply, even when one resource is less available.
Blue Pacific Solar stands out with its user-friendly and comprehensive DIY kits. Whether you're experienced or a beginner, their kits cater to various skill levels and energy needs.
Visit Blue Pacific Solar's website for detailed kit descriptions, assembly guides, troubleshooting tips, and a supportive online community. They also offer excellent customer service to guide you every step of the way.
Investing in a DIY renewable energy kit is more than just generating power; it's a statement of your commitment to a cleaner and more sustainable future. Every kilowatt-hour of renewable energy produced contributes to reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating climate change.
As technology evolves and costs decrease, DIY renewable energy solutions will become increasingly accessible. Blue Pacific Solar is at the forefront of this movement, empowering individuals to take charge of their energy needs and contribute to a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow. So, why not harness the power of nature and embark on your own renewable energy journey with Blue Pacific Solar.
