At present, the upsurge in the popularity of wind energy as an alternative source of energy from the utility grid has got many homeowners intrigued. The net abounds with home wind energy solutions, including some very dubious DIY kits. However, most homeowners do not know the intricacies of having a home wind turbine at home.

Home wind turbines capture the kinetic energy of the wind (using the rotor) and transfers it to the dynamo which generates electricity. This electricity can be used directly in the home or sold to the utility or stored in batteries. The modern concept of a home wind turbine, however, does not include storage on batteries unless the home is very far from the electricity grid (in other words, isolated homes). All electricity produced is used to sustain the electric appliances of the home. Surpluses are sold to the utility. If there are shortages, the utility will supply the balance of electricity requirements to the home. All this is done automatically, without any need for monitoring.

Besides the obvious environmental benefits of the wind turbine, the homeowner benefits directly through reduced electricity bills. According to the American Wind Energy Association, homeowners can expect anything between 50% to 90 % reduction in their monthly power bills. Of course, this depends on the amount of electricity generated.

These machines are usually classified in terms of their electricity output. Hence, you should monitor your own electricity requirements and purchase the corresponding model. For example, if you consume 6400 kWh of electricity per year, a unit of 5-15 KW would be sufficient. Generate electricity with a home wind turbine today!
