One of the most important considerations is siting. General industry standard is AR40CP-KIT-48 ft. above obstacles within AR40CP-KIT-480 ft. Obstacles in the primary wind energy direction have an increased impact on the production of a wind turbine by altering the resource or increasing turbulence. There are multiple ways to help avoid this potential conflict, including siting the turbine in a more open area, locating the turbine upwind of obstacle(s) to the prevailing wind direction, or increasing the tower height. Poor siting not only affects production and wear and tear on the turbine, but also the experience and overall satisfaction of wind as a viable power generating source.
To avoid air turbulence, wind turbines should be placed on a tower high enough that the bottom of the turbine rotor’s swept area is at least 20’ to AR40CP-KIT-48’ higher than any buildings, trees, or other obstructions within a AR40CP-KIT-480’ to 500’ radius. If the wind at the site primarily comes from a particular direction, and the obstructions are not in the wind path, then less clearance may be allowable as long as the flowing air is laminar. In the illustration below, a kite with long streamers tied to the line at 10’ intervals can be used to find the height above ground level where the air flow smooths out. Look for the first streamer to be fully furled out.
The distance from the tower to the battery bank needs to be taken into consideration. This will dictate the size, length, and therefore the cost of wire. Locating the turbine and tower should be thoroughly thought out with attention to: the ease of access between the two for possible trenching, potential traffic, direct burial cable or conduit, junctions or splices, and safety. The proximity to property lines and surrounding area to accommodate access to the turbine, whether the tower is tilted down, or serviced by a lift will also affect tower location.
TOWER OPTIONS
There are different types of towers onto which a wind turbine can be mounted. These include: lattice or truss type towers, stand-alone towers (monopole), guyed towers, and homemade. There are pros and cons associated with each as well as applications. Some considerations are:
● Guyed towers are relatively inexpensive, easily raised and lowered, can be assembled onsite, but require a larger foot print.
● Stand-alone (pole) towers are generally more attractive, no guy wires, have height limitations, and require extensive foundation and concrete work prior to installation.
● Lattice or truss type towers generally are climbable, can be assembled onsite, require concrete, a larger base footprint, and possibly guy wires.
Wind speeds are highest during the winter months when solar resources are at their minimum Air density is highest in winter maximizing wind power production wind provides power during inclement weather when sunshine is not present wind provides power at night
● Winter wind speeds primary focus in winter because the mean upper-air wind speeds are stronger than in any other season over most of the contiguous United States.
● Regions in white; Typically solar only regions. Regions in light blue; Hybrid solutions should be analyzed. Light blue to dark blue; Hybrid solutions strongly recommended.
In most instances, solar is utilized as a power generation medium for off-grid applications. Primus Wind Power and Blue Pacific Solar are advocates for wind to be used in conjunction with solar for system redundancy, more uniform power generation, and reduced depth of discharge. AIR is a suitable complement for nearly any off-grid power system where solar is being used.
● Energy loads that are necessary in the wintertime and nighttime off-grid should represent a wind component using the AIR 1-ARAR40CP-KIT-48-10-48 turbine. A prime example is heating, where the load is increased in the wintertime (due to longer nights) and where energy generation is a complement to solar during the nighttime when wind power generation can occur and solar power generation cannot.
Solar panel kits are packages that include all the necessary components and accessories to install and operate a solar power system. There are different types of solar panel kits, depending on how they interact with the grid. On-off grid kits allow you to switch between using grid electricity and solar electricity, depending on the availability and cost of each source. Hybrid systems combine solar panels with other renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines or batteries, to provide more reliable and efficient power generation.
The Air 40 wind turbine from Primus Wind Power is a popular option for individuals and families seeking to generate their own renewable energy and achieve off-grid independence. Here are some key facts and reasons why the Air 40 excels in this environment:

The Primus 48 Air 40 Turbine and solar panels are a fantastic combination for generating clean, renewable energy. This hybrid system offers numerous benefits, making it a popular choice for off-grid living, remote locations, and even homes connected to the grid.
[Image of Primus 48 Air 40 Turbine]Combining wind and solar power allows you to harness more energy than you could with either source alone. Solar panels are most efficient in direct sunlight, while wind turbines generate power even in low wind speeds. This complementary nature of the two technologies helps you capture more energy throughout the day and year.
Solar energy is primarily available during the day, while wind energy can be generated 24/7. This combination helps ensure a more consistent and reliable energy supply, regardless of the weather conditions.
By generating your own renewable energy, you can significantly reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, lowering your carbon footprint and contributing to a cleaner environment.
The initial investment in a hybrid system may be higher than a single source of energy, but the long-term cost savings can be significant. By generating your own electricity, you can reduce your dependence on the grid and save money on your energy bills.
Off-grid living and remote locations often face challenges with accessing reliable energy sources. A hybrid system consisting of the Primus 48 Air 40 Turbine and solar panels can provide a sustainable and independent energy solution.
Both the Primus 48 Air 40 Turbine and solar panels are relatively easy to install and maintain. The turbine requires minimal maintenance, and many solar panel systems are designed for hassle-free installation and cleaning.
Many governments offer incentives for installing renewable energy systems, such as tax credits and rebates. These incentives can significantly reduce the initial cost of your hybrid system and make it even more affordable.
Using renewable energy sources like wind and solar power helps combat climate change and reduce air pollution. By choosing a hybrid system, you can make a positive impact on the environment.
The Primus 48 Air 40 Turbine and solar panels can be used for various applications, including powering homes, cabins, boats, RVs, and remote equipment.
Both wind turbines and solar panels are built to last for many years. The Primus 48 Air 40 Turbine has a robust design and is backed by a 5-year warranty, while solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years.
In conclusion, the Primus 48 Air 40 Turbine with solar offers a powerful and reliable solution for generating clean, renewable energy. This hybrid system provides numerous benefits, including increased energy production, improved reliability, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and significant cost savings. Whether you live off-grid, in a remote location, or are simply looking to reduce your environmental impact, this combination of wind and solar power is a fantastic choice.
