Monitoring Sites

A rapidly growing application for small wind is its use on monitoring and signaling sites. The advancement of technology through satellite communications and lower power consumption of ground based systems has made monitoring sites practical. Likewise, small wind technology has also progressed. Today's small wind turbines are very low cost, high output, reliable and easy to install. The United States to the Dutch government, Greenpeace, NASA , United States Geological Society and NOAA are just a few of the organizations that use thousands of AIR and Whisper wind turbines for monitoring sites around the world.

Can Small Wind Work for You?

Small wind systems are extremely effective for providing small amounts of power for monitoring sites. Hummer Windpower's turbines are easy to transport and install and can be used on a variety of structures. If you have a wind resource greater than 8mph (4 m/s) and your area is free from obstacles then a wind generator will likely be a good match. It is that easy! An important reason to have a wind turbine in your system is the seasonal variations of your solar and wind resources. A hybrid system that uses both solar photovoltaic panels and a wind turbine will make the perfect compliment that provides minimal interruptions in power. Depending on your energy consumption and wind speed, the chart below will help you decide which turbine best fits your needs.
