Alternate sources of energy like wind energy help in effectively curtailing the consumption of non renewable energy for various purposes whether it’s domestic, agricultural or industrial.
The domestic usage of wind energy is effective only to feed the energy appliances that consume a very little amount of energy. For appliances that consume more energy, an expensive windmill will be required. The water heaters and television sets require more energy. Hence a little wind power may not be very effective in satisfying these demands. Wind power is mostly effective only in satisfying a part of the demand or only as a substitute.
You can even install a wind turbine in your home so that you can generate your own green energy for your household purposes. There are small wind turbines available for small businesses, small individual homes and farms. They are very helpful in saving a major amount of your electricity bill and are renewable too.
There are several things that you need to keep in mind before you get the wind turbine installed by an equipment installer. Check if the wind system that you are planning to set-up is economical or not. You are not going to spend more money on installing it than the amount you’re probably thinking on saving. Know the electricity needs of your home, your monthly requirement and whether it would be feasible. The needs of the house need to be effectively satisfied by the wind installation otherwise it wouldn’t be of much use.
There are two types of wind turbines that can installed for an individual home, they are free standing mast mounded and roof mounted. They can generate about 100w to 50kw. Also, you can get them connected with the power grid or it can work as a stand-alone with the energy stored in battery.
