Darius Hwang

Darius covers installation, towers, and the electrical side of small wind on Wind Turbine Home. He spent six years as a journeyman electrician on residential solar and microhydro before moving to writing full-time, and he still keeps his ladder rack on his truck for site visits when a piece needs photos he can not borrow. His default position on rooftop wind in dense suburbs is skeptical until proven otherwise, and he keeps a copy of NEC Article 705 within arm's reach. He thinks ballasted flat-roof mounts are underrated for office buildings and over-rated for pitched residential roofs.
