How Deep Does A Wind Turbine Have To Be "planted"?

Answer»

This depends upon the location, winds, soils, and size of the unit. For example, a 5 kW unit with a 37 FOOT pole, should have ANOTHER 10feet in concrete underground. If it is planted in sand or marshy LANDS, it will need a deeper hole. If in solid rock, it can have a smaller hole. Most installers will determine this in the installation process. A 10 KWH turbine with a taller pole WOULD require a deeper hole. Some are not put in poles, but are put on roofs or braced on the side of buildings.
