Please log in for more thread options I saw posts about small turbine, which can be mounted on roof of
regular house, and can supply some portion of regular home
consumption, I guess that limits the size, as its not huge turbine.
So if I want to consider setting one on my roof, assuming its not
desert and not Typhoon area, moderate winds at winter time, quite
humid at summer time.
Are there already such solutions available?
Cost wise? I am not sure how it measured, I spend about 250USD a month
for electricity, and I assume such devices can be expensive and return
the investment only over time (2-3 years?)
Will look later into the other technicalities, like how to 'store' the
energy, or give it back to the power compnay, I think it is being done
in such way with solar pannels.
