You must not know how much an electric generator vibrates while producing power. If you put it on the house you won't be able to sleep anymore and all of the nails could work themselfs out of the wood. http://www.fieldlines.com/comments/2008/6/20/04423/6376/9#9 W o o f -={(

I think windstuffnow has had a pretty good experience with keeping the noise down on his roof mounted vawt.  http://www.fieldlines.com/story/2006/5/31/133714/011  I'm not sure if this is still the case with Ed's installation as this story is a bit dated now. zap [ Parent ]
