subject: Windmill Companies: 3 Things We Need Them To Do [print this page] When it comes to windmill companies, most are really getting their act together and offering products that make accepting domestic power production easier and easier.
With that being said, there are several things they could do that would make acceptance of their products a piece of cake...
Windmill companies need to make their products easier to set up and get running - Right now, you need to be somewhat of an expert in installation at least to be we get a new home wind turbine functional. What I mean by that is you need to know a little bit about electricity to feel comfortable making the connections that you will need to make to make the device functional. If you have any kind of experience around your home with electrical connections this will likely not be a problem for you. But, if this is a new area, you will have to get a professional involved and that can cost some money. The more the wind turbine manufacturers convert their products to be plug-and-play, the more the acceptance of these devices will hasten.
Windmill companies need to make their sales literature more straightforward - If you look at a piece of sales literature for one of these home wind turbine devices, it is unlikely that you will not be confused on some level. The information they give out is typically very technically oriented and not really geared for the average homeowner. You have to almost become a student of wind science before you can understand what they're trying to say in their marketing materials. It is difficult to imagine that this market will really take off until the sales literature becomes a lot more like the sales literature for something simple like a toaster, for example.
Windmill companies need to make what they sell plug and play, like any other domestic appliance - As soon as this happens, it there will be an explosion in wind turbine device sales all over the world and demand will skyrocket. It someone comes up with a grid tie device that can be sold for windy climates that will allow you to plug-in your wind turbine to the system and then just watch it make money for you, this market will open up enormously.
In conclusion, windmill companies are standing at a great place in history where the future is theirs for the designing and taking.
