by Dan Chiras
From the rear cover
Completely revised and updated - the most comprehensive guide to small wind energy systems
Power from the Wind is a great resource for beginners and seasoned wind veterans alike and
it's required reading for all my wind workshop students.
-- ROY BUTLER, Four Winds Renewable Energy, LLC
FACED WITH SKYROCKETING energy costs, aging infrastructure and frequent power outages, along with the constant reminders of the environmental impacts of conventional energy sources, more and more homeowners and businesses are exploring ways to generate at least some of their own electricity to reduce fuel bills and their carbon footprint, achieving greater independence.
Author Dan Chiras distills decades of experience designing, installing, and maintaining small wind energy systems into this accessible, easy to understand guide for individuals and businesses interested in installing small wind energy systems.
Now completely revised and updated, this second edition of Power from the Wind covers all aspects of small wind energy systems, including:
- Assessing wind resources at your site - Wind turbines and towers
- Inverters and batteries - Installation and maintenance
- The costs and benefits of installing a wind system.
This book provides the information needed to make intelligent and economical decisions during design, purchase, and installation of small wind energy systems, and to communicate effectively with installers.
I cannot more highly recommend this book. If you are wondering whether wind power may be right for you, you could not buy a better book.
