You can generate some of your energy needs through wind turbines; there are an ever increasing number of wind turbines for the home on the market. With wind turbines you really do need to be sure that your location has sufficient wind to justify the expense of installing the turbine at your property.
The more exposed your site is the better, other buildings and trees can cause turbulence which will seriously deplete the potency of your turbine. Building a tall tower will solve these problems but you really should check with your local authorities first. Hill tops and coastal areas are of course the best sites but there are plenty more sites that are adequate for wind turbine.
For the average household which uses 4,500 kWh per year it would be necessary to have a turbine with a total wingspan of over 5 metres. This leads to questions concerning your neighbours are they going to mind how it looks, how it sounds etc.
Of course you can build a smaller model a 2 meter turbine will produce about 500 kWh which will supplement your other efforts nicely and will often charge your batteries overnight.
Wind turbines can be effective and they are a lot of fun to run and to build. You can build a professional looking wind turbine and come to that your very own solar panels; what’s more they will cost you significantly less than buying them off the shelf.
