Triton and Wind Energy in the Republic of South Africa

Second Wind's Triton Sonic Wind Profiler is being used by key wind developers to help the Republic of South Africa reach its wind energy goals.

Second Wind and Wind Prospect recently held a Triton demonstration event on March 1, 2011 in Cape Town, RSA. Participants learned first-hand how easy Triton is to install and operate, and about the wide range of applications that Tritons are being used for.
