Wind Turbine Installation Oxfordshire

Wind speed increases with height so it's best to have the turbine high on a mast or tower. Generally speaking the ideal siting is a smooth-hill top with a flat, clear exposure, free from excessive turbulence and obstructions such as large trees, houses or other buildings.
Please note that the electricity generated at any one time by a wind turbine is highly dependent on the speed and direction of the wind.  The windspeed itself is dependent on a number of factors, such as location within the UK, height of the turbine above ground level and nearby obstructions.  Ideally, you should undertake a professional assessment of the local windspeed for a full year at the exact location where you plan to install a turbine before proceeding We can provide this service for you.  In practice, this may be difficult, expensive and time consuming to undertake.  Therefore we recommend that, if you are considering a domestic building mounted installation and electricity generation is your main motivation, then you only consider a wind turbine under the following circumstances:
 

• The local annual average windspeed is 6 m/s or more.  An approximate figure for your location can be checked on BERR website.
• There are no significant nearby obstacles such as buildings, trees or hills that are likely to reduce the windspeed or increase turbulence
