Buy The Mounting Pole With It.

Definitely one very cool machine. Talk about very easy to install as well. I’d recommend buying the mounting pole if you can find one. I ended up going to the HardWare Store and bought 2, 10 foot by 2 inch galvanized steel piping sections and used a coupling that fit very tightly inside of each pole and was able to pound them together and then happened to find a flange that fit the cog of the wind generator perfectly. Bolted it on the pipe and ran the wires down so they popped out of the pipe just below ground level and buried the bottom end and wires in the ground. Then for reinforcement I strapped 3/4 of the pole to the side of the house with metal strapping and had it go up about 5 feet above the peak of the roof. Seems to work great but haven’t had any really strong winds yet. Time will tell. I recommend this product for sure.

Pros
  • Helps mitigate the effects of climate change
Cons
  • May not be able to handle extreme wind gusts
