Aerostar makes no warranty that its wind turbines and/or towers will be in compliance with any codes or regulations imposed by any utility company, electrical or building, zoning, noise and/or nuisance codes or regulations, local, state or federal laws or regulations.
*Over/under/voltage/frequency relay is U.L. listed. Because of the lack of uniformity from one utility company to the next, Aerostar makes no warranty or representation that Aerostar's standard relay will be acceptable to any particular utility company. Some utility companies may require specific (and expensive) relays. For example NSTAR Electric requires a special relay and other components that can cost $3,000 or more.
