Hi Guys,
I am in the process of gathering imformation regarding the errection of a nine meter tower for a 3 Kw wind turbine. I have approached Plumsted municpality/ building inspectors who inturn put me on to enviromental/town planners who inturn put me in contact with Cape town Renewable energy offices.No one to date has been able to throw some light on the do's and don'ts.The tower would be errected in a residential area and as it is we live in a valley the Turbine would be visable from the mountain side.Has any one out there had practical experience regarding noise created by these Turbines(4,5m diameter)Manufacturers state 10-24 Db (is this loud?)
Hope you all can help
Cheers
