“Logical and readable style that cuts straight through the jargon” - Windirections
Choosing Windpower is the definitive guide for any ecologically-minded person who wants to generate electricity off the grid using wind power. As a variable and at present expensive option of electricity generation for a household, the book deals with a 'stand-alone system' for those in remote areas who wish to slash the environmental and monetary costs incurred by diesel generation. With sections on assessing your needs, the electrical ins and outs of wind turbines, where to site the turbines and finally how to go about setting up a turbine, the book is a valuable reference point for all those with no access to mains electricity.
