When Planning a Renewable Energy Project, One Question Always Comes First: Is the Wind Strong Enough?

Meet Beat from Switzerland, a man who believes in data before decisions.
Back in 2013, he installed a 152 kWp solar system on the roof of a barn he rented near his home. Solar worked great, but he started wondering: could the same location also be good for wind power?

He didn’t want to guess. He wanted proof.

 Testing the Wind the Smart Way

To find out, Beat decided to measure the wind for an entire year using the WindLogger system.

“The setup was easy and worked right from the start,” he told us.

Within minutes, the logger was up and running, quietly recording wind speed and direction data on a 12-meter pole next to the barn.

Later, when he ran into a small issue importing his CSV file into Excel, our team helped him fix it right away.

“My problem importing the CSV file in Excel was quickly solved by the Windlogger team,” Beat said.

Simple setup, quick support, and accurate data, exactly what you want when starting a wind project.

One Year of Real-World Data

Beat’s plan is to collect wind data for a full year before deciding whether to install a small wind turbine.
He already knows that his region doesn’t have strong winds all year round, but winter months tend to bring higher speeds, which could make all the difference.

By logging data through every season, he’ll know exactly how much energy a turbine could generate, not just on paper, but in real life.

From Solar to Wind, a Thoughtful Approach

We love Beat’s mindset.
Instead of rushing into a purchase, he’s taking the time to measure first and invest later.
That’s how smart renewable energy planning should look.

• Measure before you buy.
  
  

• Use data to support your permit application.
  
  

• Combine solar and wind for a balanced, year-round system.
  
  

With tools like WindLogger, anyone can gather reliable wind data and make informed decisions about their renewable energy projects.
