What building/zoning codes apply to wind turbines?
Some jurisdictions restrict the height of the structures permitted in residentially zoned areas, although variances are sometimes obtainable. Most zoning ordinances have a height limit of 35 feet. You should speak with local representatives to determine any building permits, electrical permits, approvals, and certification that is needed prior to installing a wind system. This is a critical phase and it is vital that you have all approvals in place before beginning any installation or ordering your equipment. Your installer should have experience helping customers secure necessary permits.
