The first question you should ask yourself is if installing a wind turbine is the right choice for you.  Siting is of ultimate importance when putting in a small wind system, and the UGE team is here to help you along the way.

     Although there are some online sources that help you estimate your wind speed, on a small scale wind varies greatly and these online sources may not be relevant for your location.  Fortunately, there are several ways we can assist you!

     The first suggestion is to contact one of our local partners or one of our sales representatives.  Choosing sites for wind turbines is what these individuals deal with every day, and they will be able to provide you with their estimation of the power production of a wind turbine at your property.

     The second suggestion is to install an anemometer which is the most accurate way to measure your wind speeds.  Fortunately, UGE offers the UGE 1st Step, an easy to use, cost efficient, all-in-one weather station.  Best of all, if you later decide to purchase a wind turbine from UGE, we will credit you the value of the UGE 1st Step towards your unit.
