Roatan Renewable Energy can design a wind-electric system in certain
locations that have adequate winds. Wind systems require more maintenance
and need more attention than solar-electric systems. Investing up
front in good equipment, design, and installation, wind-electric
systems can make economic and environmental sense.
Optimal, consistent wind resources are not located near buildings or among
the trees. Tapping wind energy involves tall towers, at least
30 feet above all nearby obstructions. Wind turbines come in a
variety of shapes and sizes, with many different specifications.
A wind generator's rotating blades convert the wind's kinetic
energy into rotational momentum in a shaft. The rotating shaft
turns an alternator, which makes electricity. This electricity
is transmitted through wiring down the tower to its end use.
Roatan Renewable Energy will design and order the correct wind
turbine for your location. We have researched durability, voltage
production, warranty, and track record of wind turbines and will
design the correct system for your property. Remember that a wind
turbine will not get you any wind-generated electricity. Most
of the components of a solar system will be required as well.
Roatan Renewable Energy assembles, connects, and load tests all
components at Vegas Electric shop before bringing the units to
the job site.
