Wind Turbine Towers

Wind turbine towers are an important part of any home wind power system. They allow you to put the wind turbine up high, where there is much less turbulence. Less turbulence equals better performance for your system.

When the wind blows over nearby trees or buildings it makes your wind turbine less efficient. To maximize the efficiency of your home wind power system your turbine needs to be mounted up above all this turbulence, where the wind blows strongest.

Putting up the tower will require two people so don't expect to be able to do this on your own. You should base the tower in concrete for complete stability. The tower kits that you can buy come with excellent instructions.

If you have a tall roof with no surrounding trees or buildings, it is possible to use a roof mount instead of a tower. Likewise on an RV, you can often use a roof mount.
