Should my neighbours be concerned about safety if install a wind turbine ?
No. our turbines design was done in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratories. As part of this project, extensive computer modelling and field testing was done to ensure a safe design. All of Turbine testing was done to internationally accepted standards for small wind safety and reliability. Your neighbours’ who may have some concerns about safety may appreciate the following information: Tower stability: Thousands of small wind generators are installed in the U.S. every year and their safety track record is excellent. Trees are much more likely to fall than a properly installed turbine, but no setbacks or minimum property sizes are required for trees. Safety of utility repair personnel during a power outage: In accordance to IEEE and UL, our turbines will automatically shut down in the event of a power outage, and will not energize a dead power line. This is necessary to protect the utility line repair person. Ice shed from rotor
