Considering residential wind power for energy self-sufficiency? Find out whether a home wind turbine is right for you.
So maybe you’re thinking you want to generate your own electricity,
and home wind power has crossed your mind. After all, who really enjoys
paying a utility bill? Small wind energy is renewable, non-polluting,
and, in the right circumstances, can save you money.
But is home
wind power a good choice for you? The answer may surprise you, because
living in a windy area is not necessarily the most important factor. In
fact, many properties are not a good fit for installing a wind turbine
even if they have a lot of wind (for reasons we’ll get into). On the
other hand, if you want to go off-grid and produce your own electricity,
you almost certainly want to consider installing a home wind turbine,
even if your location is not notably windy.
