Wind Power Small Turbine.
Wind Power from a Small Turbine can power a whole house efficiently and effectively. Homes use approximately 9,400 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year (about 780 kWh per month). Depending upon the average wind speed in the area, a wind turbine rated in the range of 5 to 15 kilowatts would be required to make a significant contribution to meet this demand.
A small turbine can cost anywhere from $6,000 to $22,000 installed, depending upon size, application and service agreements with the manufacturer. But with all the rebates being offered by the government the total cost will be less than what you are originally offered. So really initial cost ends up being a fraction over the long haul of what it really is.Most small turbines have very few moving parts and do not require any regular maintenance. They are designed for a long life (up to 20 years) and operate completely automatically. The wind system will usually recoup its investment through utility savings within six to 15 years and after that the electricity it produces will be virtually free. Over the long term, a wind turbine is a good investment because a wind system increases property value, similar to any other home improvement.
