Types Of Towers
Aeolos provided three types of towers for different model wind turbines: Guyed tower, Lattice tower and Mono tower. Each tower has its own advantage and disadvantage in the cost, efficiency, installation and maintenance. So it is difficult to say which one is the best tower for a wind turbine system. You may choose the package of our recommend tower and wind turbine or choose the tower according to your local situation.
