If you're a poultry farmer, you need energy. The barns where you house your animals require careful climate control. Ventilation is especially important, day and night. Feeding systems and lighting also require continuous power.
Energy needs are therefore relatively constant throughout the day and year, even when the sun isn't shining. This makes wind energy the ideal solution for powering your farm day and night, year-round.
Your systems run day and night. Solar energy has a distinct peak time, meaning you feed a large portion of your energy back into the grid during the day and run short in the evening.
A farmyard windmill is the solution, because the wind blows both day and night. The generated energy stays on your farm, and you can use it immediately.
Here’s what that looks like:

You need electricity year-round, with the greatest demand during the summer months. With a wind turbine, you have year-round power, and you can even supplement your summer energy needs with solar panels. This gives you predictable generation throughout the seasons.
A small wind turbine allows for more simultaneous generation: the generated energy is used directly on the property.
"80% of the energy consumption is the ventilation of the chicks. That machine is always on. Since the sun doesn't always shine but it can blow day and night, I chose wind energy."
