Introduction to buying a wind turbine
What wind turbine should I purchase?
Determine how much electricity you consume per average month
or annually. You can get this information off your utility
bills, or from your utility company.
Select a turbine that has a yearly production that is close to or slightly more
than the amount of electricity you consume annualy
Consider that a heavier turbine is likely
to have fewer repairs and will last longer than a lighter turbine
Select a turbine manufacturer
that has a long track record, i.e., that is listed in the June/July 2009
(#131) issue of Home Power Magazine article How to Buy a Wind
Generator
