Wind Turbines for homes are they a good choice for you?
Well Maybe Yes Maybe NO
Residential wind turbines can be a good option to consider depending if your geographic locations have an average of 10 mph winds.
Before making a decision, it's crucial to assess whether they align with your needs and circumstances. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind:
Evaluate Wind Conditions: Check if your geographical location experiences an average wind speed of at least 10 miles per hour, as this is necessary for effective wind turbine operation.
Assess Electricity Costs: Determine if your current electricity rates exceed 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. Higher rates can make wind generation a more economically viable option.
Analyze Energy Consumption: Understand your average kilowatt usage to assess whether a wind turbine can sufficiently meet your energy needs.
Consider Storage Solutions: Investigate the type of battery storage system required to store excess energy generated by the turbine for later use.
Account for Maintenance Costs: Research the average maintenance costs associated with the specific wind generator you're considering to ensure it fits within your budget.
Evaluate Longevity: Determine the expected lifespan of the wind turbine to assess its long-term cost-effectiveness.
Additionally, it's essential to clarify your objectives for adopting wind generation. Are you aiming to reduce your carbon footprint or seeking economic benefits?
If you decide to proceed with a purchase, carefully select the appropriate size of the turbine, ranging from 400 watts to 10 kilowatts, based on your energy requirements. Ensure the company you choose has a reputable track record, as longevity is crucial for warranty fulfillment.
It's worth noting the cautionary image of a broken windmill. While I advocate for both solar and wind energy, it's vital to exercise prudence in decision-making, especially given the potential pitfalls associated with inadequate education provided by some sales representatives.
