Wind turbine installation advice for my home?
I am fascinated with the idea of using a wind turbine to provide power for my home. I like the cost saving part, but also the idea that I could be helping the environment too.
I've looked online and done a ton of reading and so far, it seems that that the only affordable way to install a wind turbine is going to cost a lot of money and I'd still have to build/install it myself and pray that I got it right. (Actually, I did read my local building codes and incentives and the local power company will come out and inspect it before you hook it up to the house and to the grid.)
I want to use one of those spiral turbines, as I think they are less obtrusive in a neighborhood setting and hopefully, I could install more than one if needed/desired since they are a slim design.
We tend to get heavy hard winds in the summer and I think I could rack up some free energy and possibly even sell back extra power to the local company too during these heavy windy periods we have.
I've seen free plans online to build them and honestly, they say they are simple and easy, but I don't find them the least bit user friendly. I am above average intelligence, but I am no mechanical engineer!
Does anyone have any advice or tips on using/install wind turbines for home use?
Any suggestions on getting it cheaper? I am seriously thinking of trying to make a business out of designing kits or something similar that an average homeowner could manage to install for as cheap as possible.
Thanks ya'll!
