Bergey wind turbines are built to order and
typically shipped within 2 - 8 weeks.
They can be purchased directly from the factory under our
Bergey.Direct program
or through our nationwide network of Certified Dealers and Resellers.
The choice of which option is best for you is
basically a trade-off between costs and involvement. The wind system is
basically a big "Erector Set (TM)", but installation does
involve obtaining the necessary permits, pouring concrete foundations,
constructing a wire run from the tower to your house, installing and
connecting the electronics, and assembling and erecting the turbine and
tower. BWC has safe turbine erection procedures that allow all of
the assembly work to be done on the ground. A light-duty crane is
then used to lift the system to vertical. We have complete
installation manuals for each product. |

Installation Procedures section.

CERTIFIED DEALERS
Installations from Certified Dealers are the
easiest, fastest, and simplest path to a working wind turbine
installation. Certified dealers will provide full warranty
coverage for 5-years and they are familiar with the often difficult
permitting processes in California.
Certified Dealers have typically received factory training on
the installation and servicing of Bergey wind energy systems. They
can provide a complete turnkey installation and will enhance the
Bergey warranty by providing on-site service. Typically, Certified
Dealers install systems within a 75-mile radius of their offices. Click here
for a list of California Certified
Dealers. Our listings include full contact information and
hot-linked e-mail addresses.
RESELLERS
Factory authorized resellers are dealers that are typically not
involved with the installation process or after-sales support. However, resellers
offer a broad range of products and they often have extensive experience
with solar energy products.
Many resellers have catalogs and large mailing lists that allow them
to reach people who would not otherwise hear of Bergey products. However, our
experience is that resellers often lack the experience with wind systems
that would enable them to differentiate between light-weight, less
rugged turbine designs and more rugged and dependable products such as
Bergey turbines. Bergey WindPower fully supports its Resellers
network and we often assist these companies in integrating a Bergey
turbine in a complete hybrid power package. Click

Our factory direct program offers you support services directly from Bergey WindPower Co. We provide design and planning assistance, installation advice, detailed
installation manuals, and information on subcontracting the more difficult
parts of the job. Please note, however, that the CEC rebates are ~
15% less for self-installed systems. Please refer to the CEC program
guidelines or call BWC for details.
For a modest additional charge, we can even provide a
factory-certified technician to oversee your installation (after
foundations and the wire run have been completed). Systems
purchased directly, however, do not include on-site warranty support.
Since Bergey wind systems do not require any scheduled maintenance and are
extremely reliable, direct purchase customers have been quite satisfied
with their after-sales support situation.
You
can purchase a Bergey wind system and any necessary special equipment directly
by contacting our sales staff at 1-405-364-4212. On a direct purchase we ask for a deposit when you place
your order and we require the balance of full payment just prior to
shipment. Payments can be made via credit cards, via bank transfers,
or by check. Direct purchases outside Oklahoma may avoid state and local sales taxes.
On a direct purchase we can also submit the CEC Rebate Reservation Form on
your behalf after preparing a proforma invoice (quotation) and obtaining a
copy of your utility bill. Often customers choose to have the CEC
rebate paid directly to Bergey Windpower, which greatly reduces their
upfront cash requirements.
