Exactly HOW Windy?

We’re helping a client measure the prevailing wind at their property to determine if they have ideal conditions for generating power. Just because a location is seemingly always windy doesn’t mean it will generate enough electricity to meet demand. The current VA wind map shows their location in Madison is marginal.
So VA Master wind turbine installer Jeremy Hayes of Skyline Turbine erected an anemometer (try saying that 10 times fast, or even once!) to record for three months the wind speed, pressure and direction. The test will confirm wind power potential and provide data to calculate whether power needs can be met.
Stay tuned.
