Re: Wind turbines - wind availlabillity testing.
Actually this would be a job for Windsave! They could lend you a
house mounted mast for a returnable deposit. I used a Rutland 903
borrowed from a friend.
Ideally you'd have a pole with several wind speed detectors along
it, so you could see what the hight above the roof the turbine
needed to go.
What you could do is buy some sort of wind monitering system, then
sell it on ebay when you're done with it.
