The pole height is 121.36 feet tall. The rotors will extend another 34.44 feet. The F.A.A. has given us approval for our wind turbine to be 156 feet tall.
The turbine was purchased right here in New England and is manufactured by Northern Power located in Barre, Vermont. The award winning turbine is a passively-cooled, permanent magnet, direct drive generator eliminating a gearbox and transmission. This creates one of the quietest turbines available with noise levels measured at 50 dB, which echo the sounds of normal conversation or soft music.
