Tower Location
Location of a wind turbine to get maximum performance is not covered here at least to say they
work best in open spaces with few surrounding trees or buildings. Futurenergy strongly recommends
that its turbines are not installed on buildings because of poor performance, due to turbulent air
flow, damage to building structure and noise generated within the building. A tower should always
be used.
The kit is supplied with ground anchors so no concrete foundation is required, these fixings can also
be removed so the whole tower could be relocated at any time. (See the following chapter regarding
ground anchor installation). As stated above the best position for the turbine and therefore the
tower is in open space away from trees and buildings, if there are obstructions then at least a clear
view towards the prevailing wind direction for the area should be sort. It is preferable to install on
