With growing concerns over the supply and price of fossil fuels, in addition to environmental issues. Many homeowners are investigating alternative options for heating and power. Residential wind power systems are just one of these alternative technologies and perhaps the cheapest in terms of price per Kwh (kilowatt hour).
Power produced from winds using turbines is efficient, clean and renewable. However, more importantly, as more and more consumers investing in wind power home systems, the prices are coming done making the return on investment even more attractive.
The technology and therefore efficiency of these wind turbine systems is constantly improving, using data from many large scale wind farm facilities worldwide such as the Altamont Pass, Buffalo Gap and Capricorn Ridge Wind Farms in the USA. Muppandal Wind Farm in India and the Barrow Offshore Wind farm in the UK. Modern wind turbine designs have benefitted greatly from these projects resulting in cost effective and efficient small scale wind turbines now available for local energy production in the domestic markets.
This advancement of technology means that it is now possible to install wind power in your home for less than a $1000 in the form of DIY kits. If you are prepared to source all the parts and materials yourself, further savings can be made resulting in a wind powered home for less than $500! Basic mechanical skills will be required if you go the DIY route but it’s probably a lot easier than you think. Common household tools and a good manual are the only other requirements for a DIY wind power project.
When it comes to choosing a manual or guide for building your wind power turbine it is essential to choose one where the author has in fact constructed a successful wind power system. You would be amazed at the number of people that are jumping on the alternative energy bandwagon just to make a quick buck!
The manual that we feel is the easiest to follow also provides clear illustrations and all the support required for even the most inexperienced DIY’er. This manual was created with the complete novice in mind and guides you through the complete build and installation process. As a bonus the author also includes a complete guide on making your own solar panels and includes examples of wind generators he has built and installed for less than $100!
Want to save hundreds of dollars every time you get your power bill or even become totally self sufficient for energy? Check out this great wind and solar construction manual here.
