Wind Energy

When Wind Speed Determines Your Bottom Line

 

Rapid Weather specializes in the initial stage of wind energy development.

  • We assist in siting anemometers and other wind instruments so that you get the optimal location. Remember, the greater the wind velocity, the more likely you are to secure financing and reap sustainable energy.

  • We perform quality control checks and summarize automatic data retrievals from your wind instruments. This data is critical for ordering the correct turbines and for securing final financing.

  • We do initial climate studies so you can determine if it is even feasible to consider wind energy.

Experience, reliability and accessibility. With a Certified Consulting Meteorologist on staff, you are assured of the utmost in professionalism.


Wind Turbines


We will come out to your site - anywhere in the US or Canada - perform an analysis of the topography, estimated roughness, and suggest alternate sites.

Rapid Weather does not have a conflict of interest because we do not sell wind turbines.
