Site Assessment
Since our beginning in 2002, we have specialized in siting wind energy systems where they will be most productive. Our clients range from schools and small businesses, farms and Native American Tribes, wind energy developers, Municipalities and community groups. Our Resource Division serves small and large clients alike, ensuring that every dollar spent on a wind generator maximizes the resource available.
Seventh Generation provides a comprehensive set of services, from basic on the ground assessment to high level monitoring of resources with the newest technology. Seventh Generation will assess your potential for hosting a wind turbine taking into account: obstacles such as trees and buildings; distance to electrical connection; relevant local planning policies, and the various turbine options (including cost & production estimates) available to you. Whatever the size of your project, Seventh Generation is here to start you out on the right path.
