The UL aspect of the game is also something that will need to be debated before becoming a directive. I spoke to some of their folks at Windpower 2009 in Chicago and they are treating the small wind turbine business like any other electrical device that can cause harm to people. Some may see that as a benefit to lay-people and the manufacturers may see that as a huge investment with UL just to have the chance to sell products. Either way the result needs to be something that will drive the industry forward and inspire innovation.
Deep respect to the trip with the '66 Volvo. Beaufort
I wonder if the new 6' diameter roof top wind turbine built by Honeywell, soon to be sold at Ace hardware will be UL listed and 'allowed'! That is one of the scams to com along yet in my opinion (much like the windsave stuff in the UK)- I am amazed that two such large companies are getting involved with such silly stuff.[ Parent ]
