This tower kit is designed specifically for the Southwest Windpower “Whisper” 100 and 200 wind turbines. To our knowledge this is the most economical and user-friendly tower kit available for the Whisper wind turbines. One level, guy wire supported construction allows the use of lightweight tubing while providing plenty of strength, even in high wind conditions. With the help of a winch, beast of burden or vehicle, two people can easily erect the tower in a few hours. All that is required is the necessary tubing and the proper anchors for your type of soil.

This Whisper tower kit includes a custom made galvanized base with separate pivots for both the tower and gin pole. The tower base has a footprint of 16 inches square. In most cases a concrete pad for the tower base is not necessary.

A simple extruded aluminum coupling clamp allows the use of different wall thickness of tubing, depending on site requirements. Threaded coupling points are eliminated, allowing lighter materials to be used with the same or greater strength than a threaded pipe tower. The guy wire attachment clamps onto the upper mast section. This reduces the number of pieces of tubing used to construct the tower and reduces the stresses concentrated at this point. Pre-cut and swaged guy wires eliminate wire measuring and cutting.
