Solar Shop Australia, a major provider of residential-scale renewable systems, has stopped selling wind turbines. Citing the necessity of on-site wind resource monitoring and the difficulty of turbine siting, Solar Shop explained that, unlike solar systems, "wind power requires careful consideration and specific site information in order to ensure optimal performance."
