That Calgary kit requires 395 sq. ft. of aligned roof space, so if extensions are required, zoning restrictions may be a problem. If the installation is broken into sections, costs are much increased.

Tall buildings with large glass areas, and tendency to create strong wind action around them are a hazard to birds here in Calgary. I have observed the wind towers on Oahu, where the main objection is based on aesthetics.
