DETERMINE PROPER LOCATION

STEP 1: Determining your wind resource

There are several ways to ensure you have at least a 5 mph average wind speed:

• 3 Tier Website (login: info@akwindindustries.com Pass: wind123)
  

• Have AK Wind Industries to come out and install a wind sensor. This is a free service with AK Wind Industries. Schedule Sensor Installion Here
  

STEP 2: Locating the system on your property

The general rule of thumb is to install your Skystream at least 20 feet (6 m) above any surrounding trees or structures in a 250 foot (76 m) radius.



STEP 3: Ensure proper generator height
In most cases, a taller tower will allow you to generate more energy. Taller towers, however, increase the cost of your installation and may not be allowed in some areas. A Skystream 3.7 commonly requires a monopole or guyed tower. Below you’ll find a siting guide and information on the most common tower options.
