Small Wind Turbines

Purchasing small wind turbines for home use requires a bit of fore thought. The amount of required electricity and available space should play a large part in the decision making process. Poor planning can lead to poor results.

Most home in America use about 780kWh per month, which means that any small wind turbines being considered should be able to provide at least this amount of electricity. In order to do this, factors such as the average wind speed and consistency need to be taken into consideration, as does the kilowatt rating of the generator itself. If any of these factors are insufficient, so will be the available power supply.

Small wind turbines also need to be able to adequately harness the wind that is available, and as such they often require being place on large towers. This often requires a large amount of space, which can be a major obstacle for those that live in cities and suburbs. This is one of the major downsides to using wind power at home.
