Siting - Finding the Best Location for Skystream
The best location to install a wind turbine is often a compromise. Local building restrictions, the height
of surrounding structures, wire length, and available open space may require Skystream be installed in
a less than optimum location.
In general Skystream will produce more power if installed on a taller tower. However, towers are
expensive so it is important to balance performance (tower height) to installed cost in order to achieve
the lowest cost of energy and the quickest payback.
The General Rule: For optimal performance, install Skystream 20 ft. (6.5 m) above any surrounding
object within a 250 ft. (75 m) radius. See figure below.
TIP: Your dealer can help you determine the best location for Skystream on your property.
Local Requirements
Building codes and installation regulations may vary greatly depending upon country, state, city and
local townships. Be sure to obtain all the required building permits BEFORE beginning installation.
Make sure you understand all inspection and installation requirements. Many locations may require
installation by a licensed professional to meet building code requirements or to qualify for rebate
incentives.
Additionally, be sure to contact the local electrical utility company. Many utility companies will require
an “Interconnection Agreement” prior to installation. Some utilities may also require installation of a
separate power meter for Skystream.
