Corpus Christi, Tx - Windmill placement

My husband and I plan on putting in a solar powered windmill. But we are not clear on height allowances and such for inside the city. Can anyone help me with this information before I actually buy, install and end up having to take it down due to violations. Thank you.

Also check with your local zoning office.
You may need a permit for the structure.

May I inquire as to the nature of this device? Is it merely a decorative windmill that is run by solar power or is this intended to be an alternative energy source?

The reason I ask is that I found a website (http://cleangreenenergyzone.com/solar-powered-windmill/) touting a solar-powered windmill as an alternate energy source. The web page was full of inaccurate and misleading information, including a claim that solar panels are incapable of generating enough power to run a home or business. (This would be news to those I know who live off the grid or to those businesses in my area that use solar to supplement their electrical needs.)

According to the particular web page, his solar-powered windmill employs a small array of solar panels to run a small motor that turns the windmill's blades. Once turning, the motor becomes a generator and puts out electrical current. From an engineering standpoint, this is nonsense. A windmill is supposed to be turned by the wind but this guy implies that his unit will produce more power than it consumes merely by spinning the vanes of the windmill without any wind. This falls into the category of the perpetual motion machine.

I brought this up only because I am not sure what your intent is with the windmill but if you are looking for alternate energy I would advise proceeding with caution.
