Small wind turbines help an individual or an organization to generate onsite part or all of their own electrical needs.
Installing a small wind turbine can save you money, but is not a good fit for all situations. If you are interested in a wind energy system for your home, farm, building, or organization, consider the following basic requirements:
- At least 1 acre of available land
- An annual average wind speed of at least 10 mph.
- Approval from your local building inspector for construction of a tower
- Your commitment of time and money
