Yes, this is one of the possible approach to the wind assessment challenge.
Unfortunately it is not accurate below 250ft, the wind is not linear and this kind of model doesn't count well enough all the obstacles at the low altitudes.
Therefore this model doesn't work for the <100KW turbines and when it comes to >100KW, the investment is so big that you still want an on-site-specific wind assessment.
In conclusion this service is useful only for curiosity or for preliminary observations

Even so a chart like that helps to determine whether or not going for windpower makes sense at all and how much you can (on average) expect to get out of it indicating what your 'mix' of renewables should be to ensure year-round power, which is especially important for off-grid installations.
