This 24 foot Whisper guyed tower
kit is easy and safe to install. The kit doesn’t require welding or machining – you just need to obtain pipe
material and power wires.
This guyed wind power tower kit includes everything you need except:
1) Pipe material 2) Anchors 3) Power wires
To keep your costs low and to consider site variables, these
components should be purchased locally. When selecting the materials for the construction of your tower, please
consider the following:
Pipe Material: For most conditions, we recommend a “schedule 40” pipe material. This offers a wall
thickness of 0.125 inches, which is strong enough to resist most wind conditions. If you are using fence pipe
material, make sure you ask for “SS40”. If you live in an environment were your winds will never exceed 80 mph
(140 km) then we suggest using a thinner wall material such as a “schedule 20”. In conduit material, this is
called “SS20”.
Anchors: The anchors are by far the most difficult part of installing a tower. Once you have
them in the ground, a tower installation gets really easy. There are various soil materials that you should
consider prior to installing your tower. The type of anchor should also vary. Our owner manuals have
recommendations based on soil type.
Power wires: Because of the size of turbine and variable length from the turbine to your
batteries/inverter, it is impossible to know the proper wire size. Once you have understood the distance from
the turbine to the battery, refer to the wind turbine’s owners manual for the proper wire size. Be sure to
select the right type of wire for your environment.
