Should they really build mirror versions? Can’t they just rotate alternate turbines by 180 degree to achieve the same?

- qsolo 6y agoIf I understand you correctly, you are asking if wind turbines can operate with the wind blowing from behind them? Wind turbine's are designed and built with wind coming in front of them. I am unaware of any designs that would work from both directions (horizontal axis wind turbines of course).
- _Microft 6y agoThe rotor is upwind because the blades would be subjected to frequent jerks when they enter and leave the wake of the tower otherwise.
