Using more or larger wire will also increase your installation cost. A substantial amount of electricity can be lost as a result of the wire resistance-the longer the wire run, the more electricity is lost.
Whether the system is stand-alone or grid-connected, you also will need to take the length of the wire run between the turbine and the load (house, batteries, water pumps, etc.) into consideration. If your tower is guyed, you must allow room for the guy wires. When siting be sure to leave enough room to raise and lower the tower for maintenance.

You also need to plan for future obstructions, such as new buildings or trees that have not reached their full height. In addition to measuring or finding out about the annual wind speeds, you need to know about the prevailing directions of the wind at your site. In addition to geological formations, you need to consider existing obstacles, such as trees, houses, and sheds. You can have varied wind resources within the same property.
If you site your wind turbine on the top of or on the windy side of a hill, for example, you will have more access to prevailing winds than in a gully or on the leeward (sheltered) side of a hill on the same property.
Your professional installer should help you finding the best location for your wind system.
