You might have noticed that almost every wind turbine is painted white in colour.We will discuss reasons behind the white colour in this article.
1.)Generally wind turbines are painted white to be more aesthetically pleasing than otherwise. Painting them white or light grey helps the entire structure "blend" into the background, especially when the sky is cloudy. By making the entire structure white, the wind turbine is less visually obtrusive, in theory at least. White, after all, is a pretty neutral color.
2.)White, with an absence of colour, reflects sunlight and therefore reflect heat. Heat causes expansion, drying up of lubrication, and blistering. Consequently any colour would either shorten the life of a wind turbine by introducing increased wear and tear, or be more expensive in terms of maintenance.
3.)Third reason is to make them visible from the sky.From the sky looking down, planes and aircraft will be able to see them standing out in the grass below them. This rule was implemented for safety reasons, and it is actually required by law that pilots must have a clear view of all wind turbines from above to avoid any accidents.
So these are the basic reasons why wind turbines are painted in white colour.If you liked this article then share it with your friends and if you have any doubt then feel free to ask in comment section.
