Beco Solar and Cholwell Wind Energy can provide a range of application.
Proven wind turbines come in a number of sizes and are suitable for use in homes, farms, schools and business developments. They can be grid connected or used in off grid applications.
We can offer a range of other turbines from under 1kW for battery charging to 50kW and above.
Airdolphin 1kW wind turbine for grid connect or battery charging applications.
Marlec Small machines for battery charging, power for remote buildings, or mobile applications.
Siting
It is essential that wind turbines are sited at appropriate places.
Look at these documents from the British Wind Energy Association to help assess your site.

We recommend a minimum average wind speed of 5m/s at 10m above ground. The best site for a wind turbine is towards the ridge of a smooth hill with a clear view towards the prevailing wind. Nearby trees and buildings will cause turbulence, reducing output and increasing wear on the turbine. To avoid this, the turbine head should be at least twice as high as any obstacles within about 100m
Planning
Wind turbines do require planning permission. Clear guidelines do exist to assist planners in deciding whether or not to permit planning permission. We are happy to assist with planning applications.
