Wind Turbine installers in Fife Scotland :
 
 
RB Grant Electrical Contractors have been involved in the installation of wind turbines for many years . We supply our wind turbine installation and design services in Fife and surrounding areas . Our staff are skilled and qualified to install small scale wind turbines for domestic , commercial and industrial use 
 
Wind turbines extract energy from the wind by using the power of the wind to turn blades that drives a turbine , which is fed into a generator that converts the energy into electrical energy which is used to run household appliances and lighting . The electricity produced by wind power can also be sold directly back to the grid , you can obtain the feed in tariff and a pay back within 4 to 5 years typically . Using a renewable energy can save you money and help reduce climate change .  
 
 

 
 
The advantages of Wind turbines :
 
  • Reduce electricity bills
  • Simple to run

Is your home in a suitable location for a wind turbine ?

 

  • Ensure there are no obstacles near you home like trees , buildings or

           hills . This reduces turbulence making the wind turbine more effective .

  • Do you need planning permission ? 

           Domestic turbines do require planning permission from your local  

           government authority .

  • Is your home located in a remote area ? A remote area is suitable as

           there are no obstacles  and can be useful if your home is not near the

           national grid .

 
 
Wind speed :
 
  • To gain the benefits of a wind turbine , you should consider a wind turbine

            if the annual average wind speed in your local area is 5m/s or greater .

 

 
 
 
How much space do you need for a turbine ?
 
  • Land area must be at least 2.5 times the height of the mast and a width of

           at least 2 metres wider than the rotor

  • Local planning requirements
  • Servicing access
  • Turbines should be sited at least 20m away from the building
