Expected energy production. In the Orland to Red Bluff corridor, wind maps identify a 5 meter / second wind or 11mph annual mean wind speed.

What about do it your self? Not a good idea. Once you are past the learning curve, you will have spent enough in your time to buy 3 of them.
You will loose $7500 in rebates!!!! Logistics of the CEC rebate system will
cause you will loose 15% of the rebate (as much as $7500 on the 20kw unit)
