Windswept trees. If you’re driving down the road and see trees that look like they’ve had a bad haircut, it could indicate a good site for wind energy.

Wind Monitoring Is Pricey

One drawback to installing wind monitoring equipment is cost. A wind data acquisition system can cost from a few hundred dollars up to $2,000, a price tag approaching that of a small wind machine. Depending on the height and design, the cost of buying and installing a tower can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. A few places in the U.S. offer anemometer loan programs. Ask your local Extension service, technical college, or wind equipment installer whether they provide such a service. Another option might be to install a small wind machine on the tower and keep tabs on power produced over the course of a year.
