Owner Comments
"Ensure the ‘technical' department of the electricity company is ‘talking’ to the billing department as soon as commissioned. Good idea to personally contact the microgeneration unit of the electricity company. Money was saved by mounting the windmill directly on bedrock. No costly foundation required. Some minimal noise in medium-to-strong winds, easy to become used to it. If installing now would check for other windmill options. Few MCS-approved options at the time. Found problem with power generation cutting out due to surges. Dealt with by installing a small heat dump."
