Purchasing a Wind Turbine

Purchasing

Should you wish to go ahead and purchase a turbine, you can phone our office and we will agree installation dates and arrange for the payment of a deposit of 25% of the cost. We will then send you a receipt for this deposit, a pro-forma invoice for the total installation cost, and a letter confirming the agreed installation dates. We will also provide you with a form which should be sent to ESB (in Ireland) or to your utility company (Northern Ireland & UK) requesting permission to sell electricity to the grid. Although it is unlikely that your electricity supplier will refuse, it is important that you send this form immediately so we can know in advance of installation commencing that permission has not been refused.

Installation

Installation takes place in two stages which have to be two weeks apart.

In the first stage, we dig foundations, lay cables and install the turbine foundation.

Two or more weeks later, we will install the tower and turbine, connect the power management system and commission the turbine system. At that stage, payment of the balance is due which should be by bank draft made payable to Turbotricity Ltd., and we will hand over the documentation required for your utility company to complete installation of a buy-and-sell meter.
