subject: Wind Generator Kits Versus Development From Plans [print this page] Home wind turbine kits are a great way to get your wind energy up and running fast. Many people are finding that they offer a huge cost savings over buying from a dealer.
If you purchase a wind turbine from a dealer, you will pay a lot more, because you will be overlaying the dealer's profit on top of the cost of the device from the manufacturer. That is not wrong per se, because a dealer can help you a lot on the front end by helping you specify exactly what you can do with the energy you make and exactly where you should put the device up.
However, if your objective is getting a wind device up and running and making electricity for you as quickly and as cheaply as possible, then wind turbine kits are a more viable alternative for you. Wind turbine kits for your home will cut out thousands of dollars from the process and you will likely learn a lot more about wind science for having gone through the process of setting them up yourself, as opposed to having someone else do it all for you.
They also, have several other advantages that will make your job of obtaining renewable power a lot easier:
* No searching for parts - if you buy wind turbine kits, you don't have to head out on a scavenger hunt for the components of the turbine, as you would if you were to buy a set of plans and do things that way.
* Single source to go back to with problems - also, if you build your turbine from a set of plans, you will likely have a variety of sources you will have bought parts from. If something goes wrong or one wears out prematurely, you will have to address that with any number of suppliers. If something happens to one of the components of a kit however, you only have one company to contact - the one who sold you the kit.
* Quick set up and energy production - by purchasing a kit, you can save a lot of time and get things up and running faster than if you were to build from a set of wind generator plans. This extra time saved will translate into more energy produced from the wind, thereby offsetting your purchase price even further.
Buying wind turbine kits are a great way to make power without all the hassle of building a wind device from a set of plans.
