subject: 3 Good Reasons To Consider Wind Turbine Kits [print this page] Wind generator kits can be a great way to save money and cut power costs at home. It always helps though to be clear about why you are doing something. That's the kind of motivation you need to do any home project that requires your time away from other fun things you want to do.
In this case, that clarity will pay off in getting you a wind generating device that will make power for you year in and year out, 24 hours a day.
There are a number of reasons they are an especially good way to get started with wind energy.
Below are 3 reasons that are motivating to most people:
1. Save money on purchase and installation of your wind generator - this is probably the biggest motivator for most people. Much of the price of a new windmill for the home comes from the manufacturing cost paid to assemble everything for you. If you are willing to do a lot of that yourself you can keep that money for you! You may be able to cut as much as 50% out of the cost by buying a kit and installing yourself as opposed to buying from a dealer.
2. Fun home project for the family - this is a great value lesson for your whole family. As getting off the grid and becoming more energy independent is a key news topic these days, this is something that will benefit you and your kids. Also, you get to learn a bit of practical science through this exercise.
3. Reducing your carbon impact on the world - by making power at home you are reducing the power that needs to be made in a power generating plant. Most power is made by combusting fossil fuels which of course creates a carbon byproduct. In the final analysis, the main thing here is getting your wind turbine turning as quickly as you can. If you have the discipline to work and make that happen with a kit, then go for it. Otherwise, if you just don't have the time, just acknowledge that and don't buy wind generator kits - instead just buy one off the shelf ready to go.
Getting your wind generator online as fast as you can, will start generating a payback for you the moment the blades start turning. When you buy wind generator kits you compress that payback time by a huge amount!
