There are several options for the installation of the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine. The turbine may be installed using a pole, a QUADPOD™ Mount on a flat roof with a ballast or a QUADPOD™ Mount on a pitched roof with a ROOFBOX™ Mount. These are described in the next section.
Building codes and installation requirements vary considerably between various townships, cities, states and countries. Make sure that all required local permits are obtained BEFORE beginning installation. In all cases installation must be conducted by a licensed and trained professional contractor and electrician. In some locations the local electric utility may have strict regulations about renewable energy technologies such as this wind turbine and other interconnect agreements and therefore it is highly recommended that they are also contacted BEFORE installation.
