A member of our team will visit your site to do the following:
1. To discuss the pros and cons of the turbines on the market and recommend the best machine for your needs
2. To undertake a visual assessment of your property for the most suitable site
3. To use models to provide an indication of the likely energy output
4. To ensure that we have sufficient information to make an accurate estimate of installation costs
5. To collect information required for permitting phase of planning application, grid application, MOD and CAA approval.
On site, we like to walk the ground with our clients to select the best site using the following criteria:
1. Airflow - Access to smooth laminar airflow and distance from trees, buildings and complex terrain which can create turbulence
2. Viewpoints and Key Visual Receptors – both from Clients property and also from neighbouring viewpoints should photo montages be required for a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment
3. Noise – to ensure that you and your neighbours will not be affected by noises from the turbine
4. Shadow Flicker – to ensure that you and your neighbours will not be affected by shadows of the rotating blades
5. Access – to ensure that the plant and machinery required for the installation and any maintenance through the life of the machine can easily reach the site at any time of year and in any ground conditions
