Installation of a Guyed Tower
Step 1: Choosing Your Installation Site
Your PowerMax+ wind turbine should be erected as high and as far away from obstacles,
such as buildings and trees, in order to reach the best wind possible. Obstacles create wind
turbulence that can lessen the turbine efficiency and could even lead to generator damage.
Soil quality should be taken into consideration. Areas with loose sand, uneven soil, water
erosion or weather-influenced (easily flooded) should NOT be chosen for wind turbine
installation. When selecting your tower location, it is also necessary to consider the distance
between the generator and pile. Shorter distances require less cable and help minimize
energy waste during the power transmission. When circumstances call for longer distances,
heavier gauge wire is recommended.
Please refer to the following chart for minimum pillar and base recommendations:
