Affordable Home Wind Power

I have been doing some research on solar panel and wind turbine systems. The pricing is crazy. For a 10Kw solar grid tie kit system is between $35,000 and $40,000. If you install batteries add $3,000-$5,000. 10Kw will only power a small to medium...

Cut the incentives, import tarriffs, and special grind tie rates. That will make prices truly competitive for those that want to participate in home green energy, and not put any cost on those that do not want to.

The important...

Build your own wind generator. Very affordable very efficient. This system provides a marvelous opportunity for self employment. Check out the ...

Or at least supply 25-50% of my power needs by some renewable source...To me, affordable is $50K or less...and I lean toward the less.

DALLAS — Wind turbines supplying energy to homes and businesses will one day line Texas' 376-mile coastline if the state's Land Office Commissioner has his way.

The turbines will stand about 10 miles offshore, enough to preserve...

A single turbine will power 800 homes if it is of size. There are many different size/power ratings on turbines these days, ranging from 225Kw up to 3.6 MW. A 1.5MW will produce enough power for roughly 800 homes, the problem is, it will only produce
