This workshop, sponsored by the MREA, will install a 120' guyed tower and a 10 kW Bergey XL wind generator, with the help of a crane. The system will tie into the utility grid with a utility intertie inverter. Ê The workshop will focus on the components of a wind system, site analysis and site improvement, equipment options, system siting and sizing, and installation techniques. Ê This workshop has a limited enrollment. Because this is a hands-on workshop, students should be prepared to get dirty and dress for the weather. Gloves, boots, and work clothes are recommended.
