When positioning a wind turbine, it is essential to get some indication of the strength of the prevailing wind. The Skywatch range of wind meters provide an excellent cost effective way to do this. Energy Liberators stock two models from the Swiss-made Skywatch range: the Xplorer 2 and the Meteos
These instruments are also of interest to wind surfers, kite surfers, etc.
