With nothing but cows and a few low hedges and trees around it, this 6kW wind turbine is ideally placed to generate power from the wind. Obstructions can reduce wind speed and cause turbulence - the best site for a wind turbine is in clear, ideally raised, ground, well away from significant obstructions.
