Wind Turbine Consultation

Skillie

Does anyone know where i can get an independant consultation as to the suitability of my site to wind generation, the power consumption of my house, the size of turbine required and efficacy of having a turbine on my monthlt eelectricity costs. payback time etc etc etc.

call me cynical but salesmen for companies dealing with turbines have an agenda so i'd like to get the cold hard facts without the sales pitch.

no disrespect intended to anyone on here who is involved in selling these i'm just looking for an unbiased thumbs up or down and some figures

Unfortunately, you are a bit far for me, (north Cavan)
There are courses in wind power and other renewables around the country these days. They're very useful and you'll meet people who would be able to help you assess your site.
You're absolutely right to look for independent site assessment.
regards.

I could send you a self survey pack, just info on how to do a site survey. PM if interested

Got this mail the other day in work


The use of renewable energy sources to produce electricity at a local level is gaining huge momentum globally.

In Ireland, owners of micro-generators can now:
• Connect their solar or wind power systems to the grid;
• Generate a revenue from exporting their surplus power;
• Receive financial support for their investment in micro-generation.

If you want to find out more, you will be interested in our one-day training workshop. This workshop has been designed to provide you with the practical knowledge required to plan a small-scale solar or wind power project and to assess its viability.

Following the huge success of our previous courses, we are launching three new dates with the next one taking place at the Menlo Park Hotel in Galway on 22nd May, then at the University of Limerick on 29th May and the Lifetime Lab in Cork on 5th June – see full details and registration form attached. Please note that places are limited to 20 to ensure a focused learning experience and we therefore encourage you to register as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.
