We in the UK are blessed / cursed with a lot of wind energy which can be harnessed by means of wind turbines.

Modern wind turbine use the wind's lift forces to turn blades which ultimately generate electricity.

Commercial turbines have become common over UK hillsides with 100m high turbines strung out in lines. These large scale wind developments are unpopular with many countryside groups and nearby residents.

Micro wind turbines are much less invasive and can be used even in residential areas with far less aesthetic and environmental impact than the wind farm equivalent.

Wind generation systems can be stand alone, battery charging or be connected to the national grid. Grid connected systems sell excess power back to the grid.

Wind power is proportional to wind speed, so relatively minor increases in speed result in large changes in output. Sighting the turbine is crucial to performance. Good sites have a high average wind speed and a smooth wind path avoiding turbulence.

Adding a wind turbine to your property makes good financial sense, saving you money on power bills, possibly even making you money from selling back to the grid. Well designed systems can be an asset to a building and can increase the value of a property. In some areas planning consent will be required.

Sustainable Earth Limited can arrange feasibility, design, planning and installation and make wind turbines an asset to suitable urban and rural properties.
