SITE SELECTION
Small increases in average wind speeds result in dramatic increases in
energy output of the wind turbine. For example, an increase in wind
speed of 10% (9 mph - 10 mph; 4 m/s - 4.5 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 wind turbine should be
mounted as high and as far away from obstructions as possible.
TIP: Your dealer can help you determine the best
location for AIR on your property.

IMPORTANT: The most important factor in maximizing the performance of
your wind turbine is proper siting. Remember! The better the siting, the great-
er the performance of the AIR™ wind turbine - EZ Tower™.
The information in this section gives specifics about the ideal siting of the
EZ Tower™. If your area does not have an ideal location, find the best
location possible.
Two basic requirements for a good wind turbine site:
• Good average wind speed
• Low wind turbulence
The lower the turbulence, the less stress your wind turbine will
sustain, the longer it will last and the more energy it will produce.
Keep the following in mind when siting:
• A tower immediately downwind of a building should be at least
20 ft (6.0 m) above the height of the building.
• The tower should be 20 ft (6.0 m) higher than any barrier within a
500 ft (152.4 m) radius.
