Thinking of installing a wind turbine, finding it difficult to get good advice? Try this course and arm yourself with background knowledge before you commit to buying a wind turbine.
The aims of the course are to give participants a clear understanding of how wind turbines work and what to look out for when choosing a wind turbine. It will also give guidelines on how to choose a good site for your wind turbine. There will be a short section on wind turbine towers and possibilities for monitoring the wind at your site before you install a wind turbine. If time allows there will also be a short discussion on building your own wind turbine. The course will include a visit to a small domestic scale wind turbine.
Please bring waterproof clothes and wellies for the site visit.
Rob Doyle also teaches the ‘Introduction to Micro Hydro’ and ‘Living off the Grid’ here at The Organic Centre. He has been living in an off-grid cottage (with most of the mod-cons) powered by wind and hydro in North Leitrim for the last eight years. He has no connection or affiliation to any organisation selling wind turbines.
