Nous privilégions la technique du mât fixe, pour avoir moins de vibrations sur les basses vitesses, et une meilleure solidité contre des vents à partir de 100 km/h; les haubans ne serviront qu'à un maintien d'alignement de la génératrice. Ce genre de pose est moins coûteux qu'une pose classique (mât basculant). Tous nos entretiens se font par camion nacelle. 4, record 2, French, - m%C3%A2t%20fixe
