| Small Wind Certification Council (SWCC) |
| www.smallwindcertification.org |
| The Small Wind Certification Council will start posting "hard" numbers on wind turbines starting in 2011. The very strict protocols of this testing process will give consumers comparative and verifiable production information on turbines up to 100kW in size. The Small Wind Industry should be commended for this "self-imposed" quality control effort. In a short period of time it is expected that all rebates, incentive, or tax breaks on any level, will only be available to SWCC certified turbines. This will be a HUGE benefit to the consuming public, in as much as all small turbines will be listed on one web site, and all rated by exactly the same test procedures. If a wind turbine might be in your future, check the SWCC site often as all viable turbines, including ours, will be showing up there over the next couple of years. |
