What is a wind resource assessment?
A wind resource assessment provides the information necessary to determine whether wind is a viable source of renewable energy at your location. A detailed assessment will show you where it is windy and during what time of the day and year winds tend to be strongest.
3TIER’s FullView Wind Spatial Mapping provides an analysis of the wind resource at your site, and is recommended prior to making any significant investment in a particular location.
