Speaking as an installer of small wind systems, I wish this
book had been available when I first started my business. Now
that I’m training small wind installers, I will mend this
book to all my students. This book is a wonderful source of
basic wind info and a must have for small wind newbies!

I’ve followed the pioneering work of Dan Chiras for many years,
watching him emerge as the go-to guy for energy self-reliance.
Through meticulous research and many hands-on projects,
Chiras has acquired essential, how-to knowledge about
small-scale renewable energy. In Wind Power Basics, he shares
what he knows in a very accessible way. Get this book onto
your kitchen table and spend pleasant time with it!
