Wind Maps
   In this section we have compiled wind maps from the U.S. Department of Energy (US-DOE) and other sources.  We have also included some solar maps for people working with hybrid wind and solar systems.  We expect to add more maps over time as we gain permission to post them.  If you do not find the resource information you need here, we invite you to e-mail us with a request for assistance.  Bergey Windpower has wind resource data that we have not yet posted.
