Home Wind Turbine: The Very Best Kind
If you are looking at all at the possibility of buying a home wind turbine, of course you want to get the best one you can for your money. While prices vary a lot, there is no one home wind turbine that one can clearly say is better than all the others. However, you do want to optimize your home wind experience and make it match the situation you find yourself in at your house.
These are the steps to take to make sure you are getting the very best home wind turbine for your dollar...
Mount your home wind turbine in the optimal spot for you - This is easier said than done in many cases. In order to know exactly where you're going to put your wind turbine you need to take in a lot of information and about the environment in which you plan to install it. In other words, you need to take some data points around the property and collect that with an anemometer for a period of 6 months to a year. I know everyone wants to act quickly and go ahead and install the device to start making power but this is a real problem that a lot of people have in wanting to act too quickly. They act too fast and thereby sub optimize the location and amount of power they could possibly get out of the wind around their home.
Make sure the home wind turbine you buy is right for the location you select - There are 2 basic types of wind turbine devices and those are the horizontal axis wind turbine and the vertical axis wind turbine. The vertical axis wind turbine works best on the roof because the winds are chaotic there and many of these devices are made to be an aesthetically pleasing and not at all a challenge to the sensibilities of the neighbors. However, a horizontal axis wind turbine can be your solution if you live far away from a population center. The reason I say that is these devices are ultra-efficient but they turn counterclockwise and clockwise constantly in the wind seeking the strongest and most prevailing wind conditions. This can be very annoying to people that are walking by and could cause you a real problem in the permitting process.
In summary, the home wind turbine that is best for you will be the one that seriously takes into account all of the variables that need to be accounted for.
