Critics raise legitimate concerns when it comes to the placement of wind machines near their property. Although most of the issues over proximity have been raised by individuals and groups that oppose large commercial wind farms, residential systems can also cause a stir among neighbors. Some may be concerned about aesthetics. Others may worry about safety.

To avoid problems, we recommend installing machines in locations out of sight and hearing of neighbors. Safety concerns are typically related to tower collapse — an extremely rare event that is always the result of bad design and improper installation. Even though homeowner’s insurance should cover damage to individuals and property, it is best to place a wind turbine and tower well away from your neighbors’ property lines.
