- We are arranging for the broken inverter to be sent to the States, now we have confirmation that the manufacturer Bergey is able to test and repair it.
- We are having the turbine and the blades serviced ASAP.
- We will be moving to an annual service (formerly biennial) before each winter to minimise any potential noise due to blade wear.
- We are exploring options to make the turbine easier to lower in the event of a future fault and we will be consulting with our members around how we proceed.
May update: The inverter is now in the States being repaired. In addition we will be installing a manual furling mechanism this summer, which should allow the turbine to be furled out of the wind in the event of any future breakdown.
