3 Tower Installation
3.1 Siting
An ideal location for wind generator is required with stable speed and direction of prevailing wind. Small changes in wind speed and direction can
have a dramatic effect on power production. In general, the higher the tower, the greater the wind speed and ultimately power production are.
Therefore, the site of your wind turbine should be carefully considered. Each installation is different and is often compromised among the tower
height, distance from the battery bank, local zoning requirements and obstacles such as buildings and trees. Following requirements should be
followed:
• The minimum recommended tower height is 20 ft (6 m) on open ground or 20 ft (6 m) above nearby obstructions (refer to following figure).
• Try to locate the wind turbine in the “cleanest” turbulent free air as possible. Turbulence will reduce the efficiency of wind turbine and may
accelerate wear on rotating components.
• Try to locate the turbine without obstacles within 200m of installation center.

18
• The installation distance between two turbines should be 8-10 times of the rotor diameter.
• Installation site should be complied with local regulations.
Safety must be the primary concern when selecting the mounting location. Even if installing the wind turbine in a less ideal location, don’t attempt to
mount the turbine while blades are spinning. Safety has precedence over efficiency.
WARNING: Even if installing the turbine in a less windy location, the three-phase wires must be short circuited during installation to prevent the
turbine from turning.
3.2 Design Requirements
The tower has a direct effect on the safety of the wind turbine. HYE offers some tower choices for HY series wind turbine. The following section
provides a summary of the available towers.

Explanations:
1. This installation is workable for pitched rooftop house.
2. This wall-mounted installation is used expansion bolt to fix
the supporting structure.
3. The wall should be concrete or solid wall.
4. Try to install the turbine in an upwind direction position.
5. The lowest point of the blade should be above the rooftop.
Dimension requirement:
①1.2 m ≤distance from rotor centre to top of rooftop
