Abstract: . . .  This can make a big difference to the economics of the installation, again you should find this out by consulting your local council. Once the machine is under construction, ask your chosen supply company whether they need you to be accredited for ROCs, LECs, & REGOs and what type of onsite and/or export metering they require you to have (if applicable).

Easy access will be required for erection, and foundations for the tower may be needed depending on the size and tower type. It is also important to ensure that the wind turbine can be easily lowered for inspection and maintenance. 3. Try to have a clear, smooth fetch to the prevailing wind, e.g. over open water, smooth ground or on a smooth hill. 4. Use cable of adequate current carrying capacity (check with the turbine supplier. This is particularly important for low voltage machines). Cable costs can be substantial. 5. Consult your local council as to whether you need planning permission.
