Wind Turbine Location

Hey all,
Any clue on where to mount a wind turbine? I'm almost done with my renewable energy upgrade and don't know where to put the wind turbine. I have a dinghy davit with two solar panels and was thinking either on that or mid the mast of the mizzen next to the radar.
Thoughts?

Just to keep everyone in the loop..  I fabricated a tripod mount and put it on the transom (hooray more transom junk ha). Photo attached.  It seems to work pretty well and does not interfere with the mizzen boom. I also added an electronic break so I can flip the switch when I want some peace and quiet or to do maintenance (it has an automatic breaking for over speed).

And I was thinking of solar panels on my dingy davits.

Yea! I'd go for it! Just be sure that your mizzen boom won't ever come in contact with the panels.. it looks like your davits have an upward bend..
P.S. Nice shot ha!
