Off The Grid Power

An anemometer is a device that is used to measure wind speed.  The Power Predictor anemometer is a little different than regular anemometers because it measures and assesses both wind and solar power at your site and tells you how much money you could save by installing wind turbines or solar panels before you buy.

Anemometer prices run from $12.00 for a simple hand held device up to around $5,000 for a professional wireless station.  The Power Predictor costs under $300 and is an affordable way to prevent making an expensive mistake when it comes to adding solar power or wind turbines.

The raw data collected by the Power Predictor is processed by the software to calculate an estimate of the total energy that could be generated at that site by a range of wind turbines and solar panels that are on the market today.

The Power Predictor web application works through your PC or Mac browser.  Data is uploaded from the memory card into the web site where it generates instant graphs.

Take a look at Ben Ashton’s review of the Power Predictor as he shares why he bought the Power Predictor, as well as his experience with installing it and the results of his first reports.  http://www.powerpredictorreview.com

The next post will cover the wind report forecasts from the Power Predictor.
