As a matter of fact everyone wants to get the most value they can out of anything they invest their money in, so a wind turbine is not really any different than that. When you are looking into the best wind turbine there will be a lot of noise on the Internet that tries to distract you and get you to buy something else.
Stay focused on getting your best wind turbine by looking at the factors below and making sure you incorporate all of them in the decision that you finally make.
These are the 3 ways you can know for sure that you are getting the best wind turbine...
Have you made the most of the wind you have? This is the central question and one that you must wrestle early and long. Many people forget this question altogether but this is where the money really is. If you take a little bit of time and analyze the wind on your property you will find that certain locations stand out as being the best and the strongest from a wind energy perspective. But taking some data and analyzing the flow patterns and strengths of the wind over the course of a day a month, you'll get a feel for which location is going to be your best ally and how much wind energy you really and truly do have available for you to take advantage of.
Have you put the wind turbine kit in the right place? These wind turbine devices are not cheap to install and as a matter fact they could end up costing you as much to install them as they do to buy them in the first place. So, you don't want to mess this up and put it in the wrong place only to have to move it later when you find out that the wind is stronger somewhere else. Take a careful assessment upfront and look at several locations that will work from a permitting perspective. That is, a location that your local government or community will approve of.
Have you picked the right kind of windmill kit? There are 2 basic types of home windmill kits-the horizontal axis wind turbine and the vertical axis wind turbine. If you look into the pros and cons of both of these devices for the particular location that you have picked out you will come the closest to optimizing the amount of wind that you can extract from a given situation.
The best wind turbine for your house will always be the one that optimizes the efficiency at your home.
