Abstract: A method and system for installing a site-deployable wind turbine offshore. The wind turbine can be substantially assembled onshore and includes a floating structure and a tower that is extendable at the installation site. A pivoting system can be configured to couple the wind turbine and turbine blades to the extendable tower in an onsite deployable configuration. After the wind turbine is delivered to an offshore location, the wind turbine is deployed and the extendable base and pivoting system can be made to deploy the wind turbine and turbine blades into functional positions such that the wind turbine can begin generating electricity.
