Mini Wind Turbines: Why Many Minis Are Better Than 1 Giant One

Mini wind turbines, (less than .5 kW), are the best way to exploit the power of the wind to make electricity at your house

. It is much simpler to focus on using multiple smaller wind devices than to use one large one.

These are the reasons why

Easier to install - This is the key to more widespread deployment of wind turbine technology worldwide. There is a huge hassle factor associated with buying and installing wind turbines at home. The smaller and more modular these devices become, the higher the adoption rate by general public will be.

Cheaper - Right now, you can purchase a small wind turbine that will serve a single appliance, like a freezer or pump, for under $1,000 on Amazon. That requires a lot of work on your part to mount it, as well. With mini wind turbines, which are a fraction of the size of these larger devices, you can usually install a wind device at your house for under $300.

They more easily fit in small places - The roof is the optimum place for most homeowners to install their wind capacity. It is out of the way and can be made to be out of the line of sight of the neighbors. With these much smaller wind turbines, they can be placed in spots that just don't attract that much attention.

The concept of mini wind turbines will lead us into the future of home-based, or dispersed energy production. By making wind turbine devices plug and play or small and very simple to install, we are making it a lot more likely that people will buy them and actually use them.

The problem has always been with wind energy that consumers have 2 choices: do all the analytical work yourself and choose the right device and install it in just the right place or, buy from a dealer and let them do all the heavy lifting.

The problems with this status quo are two-fold: the first alternative - doing it yourself - is cheap but a lot less likely to be adopted because of the amount of hassle involved and, if you pay a dealer to do the work for you, you will pay way more for the device than you would if you did it all yourself.

In conclusion, mini wind turbines are an attempt to bridge that gap. By making wind devices small and simple enough that they can easily be installed by the homeowner almost anywhere, the task of bringing wind energy onboard at the house becomes an order of magnitude simpler and more likely to occur.
