The propellers on windmills face the wind. The stands holding the propellers and generators cause air turbulence. This turbulence wrecks the propellers. Replacing them gets expensive. The generators are on the other side from the propellers. That balances the unit so it makes it easy for the unit to turn when the wind shifts.
