Wind Farm Layout Calculator FAQ
Answers to common questions about this calculator.
About 3 to 5 rotor diameters across and 5 to 10 along the wind.
Turbines shade each other and create turbulence.
Area = turbines x (cross spacing x D) x (down spacing x D).
It is an estimate based on the inputs you enter. Check real quotes, labels or official guidance for important decisions.
