A2: Choose a location you own or can lease, that is close to your house or the grid where you can sell the energy to. You want the site to be as windy as possible, with consistent winds. You want to survey the wind to see what the maximum winds are but most importantly how consistent they are. This will help you design it. People always make sure wind turbines can handle the maximum winds, but how much power will it produce over the year? Probably higher in winter and lower in summer. But I would guess even if you choose a windy place you might only get 12 percent of your rated capacity. A local power station has a 600 KW system but it only produces 72 kw on the average per year based on 13 years of service. They could have chosen a better site and they did when they purchased 10 new 2.4 MW wind energy systems this year.
To summarize: You want to choose a location based on your Wind Survey. Find out the site which is most convient to you that produces the most energy per year for you.
