Wind Turbine
This first ever vertical aeroturbine structure has a tower height of 70 feet, overall rotor size of 6 x 20 feet, and a power production of over 3000 kWh/yr.

The system is supported by a battery optional inverter rated at 3600 Watts and supplies a significant percent of the electric power for the facility. The wind turbine is also a significant icon for Rancho Verde aligning it with Franklin Boulevard to the west.
