Figure 2.3 Mounting Options

Failure to follow proper installation practices for any of the mounting options could result in death, personal injury and/ or property damage.

The vertical axis of the turbine must be level when installed. Turbines installed with their vertical axis off-level will see significant impact on performance.

IMPORTANT: The ROOFBOXQUADPOD™ system is designed for pitched or flat roof tops. As roof construction and roof lines vary, pole mounted installations are recommended for residential environments for optimal cost, flexibility and performance.

Pole Mount

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION required

The pole mount for the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine can be fabricated out of concrete, steel, or wood. A detailed design is shown below of a direct burial pole that is certified for WindTronics. Whichever pole design option is chosen, it should be approved by a local Professional Engineer (PE). All of the options listed have been rated by our Professional Engineer. Please refer to the following designs and their included specifications.

See page 32 in the Appendix for design and specifications.

QUADPOD™ Mount

The QUADPOD™ wind turbine mounting system is a novel design in that it can be used on a flat roof area or any roof angle due to its strong, hinged design. The QUADPOD™ when mounted according to its installation procedure always ensures that the wind turbine is in a vertical stand at various roof angles. The QUADPOD™ installation on a roof should be approved by a local Professional Engineer (PE). All of the options listed have been rated by our Professional Engineer. Please refer to the following designs and their included specifications.

See page 33 in the Appendix for design and specifications.
