Placing your wind turbine
The best site to install a wind turbine will be
a place where it is exposed to the most
constant and highest wind speed possible.
Wind speed depends enormously on the
landscape the air moves over. In almost all
locations the wind speed increases, as you
get higher off the ground; vegetation, landscape, nearby buildings, etc. stop
the wind and produce turbulences.
The best place for a wind machine, is an obstruction-free area, and at the
maximum height available.
Installation
Before you begin, run through the steps to follow in order to correctly
assemble your wind turbine and take a series of important precautions.

installation
The precautions to follow should be:
Don't plan to carry out installation on windy days.
Do not leave the generator running freely. With the generator
running freely, the automatic leaning brake system does not work;
this could cause irreparable damage to the wind turbine.
Use the correct wiring.
