One of the most difficult challenges
of the installation of a wind turbine is assembling and erecting a tower. Fortunately, the engineers at Southwest Windpower
have designed towers that are easy and safe to install. A number of heights for each product are available. Keep in mind,
the larger the turbine the more complex the tower design. None of the towers require any kind of welding or machining and
only the largest towers may require concrete. Most designs can be installed within a few hours to a day. All work with Southwest
Windpower towers is done on the ground. You will NEVER need to climb a tower.
All of Southwest Windpowers tower kits include everything you
need with the exception of:
To keep your costs low and to consider site variables, these
components should be purchased locally. When selecting the materials for the construction of your tower, please consider the
following:
Power wires: Because of the size of
turbine and variable length from the turbine to your batteries/inverter, it is impossible to know the proper wire size. Once
you have understood the distance from the turbine to the battery, refer to the wind turbine's owners manual for the proper
wire size. Be sure to select the right type of wire for your environment.
VERY
IMPORTANT: Prior to the installation of your tower, read the owners manual thoroughly and make sure you understand
the environmental conditions at your site prior to purchasing materials. Southwest Windpower offers manuals that
are free to download and review prior to purchase.
