Power Predictor

This week, I hoiked (is that a word?) a Power Predictor up a 4.5 metre pole in the middle of the paddock.  This little Ammemeter lets you log the wind speed, direction and solar energy to a small unit, saving the data to a micro sd card. After a month, you can transfer this to a website.
Hopefully, it will a> tell me that I live in a windy spot, and b> give me an accurate idea of what wind generator I should invest in.  Power prices have jumped significantly, and with their current management structure, likely to keep lifting prices.  Hopefully, I can get out of this vicious cycle of relying on them.
