Is there a way to convert all or part of my home’s power source to wind power?
Is there a do it yourself conversion kit available on the market, or are there companies who can be hired to do this? I live in the Oklahoma City area.
You best check first with your city building zoning codes before you invest in it. My cousin had to remove his windmill because it created a lot of noise for his neighbors.
Solar electric panels (photovoltaic) are getting popular but it’s a bit more pricey. Make sure your electric company will let you run their meter backwards when you are not using the electricity.
If you haven’t gotten a solar hot water system yet, consider a thermosiphon type system. It requires no pump, and no electricity to make all the hot water for your home.
Is there any INexpensive way to convert your home to solar or wind power?
If the govt wants us to convert, why aren’t they demanding that it be CHEAP?
moderately… no less expensive install it yourself. That’s what I’m doing now with 3 wind turbines on top of my garage, and hopefully in a year or so when Nanosolor drops photovoltaic cells to 10 cents a watt due to decreased production cost I’ll install a 5-10 kwatt array on my house roof. The us dept. of energy has a rebate program where they will reimburse 50% of the cost, but you don’t get your check till after it’s installed. Also you can file with the irs and state tax dept. to list your house as an energy creation zone, making the checks you get from the electric company tax free.
Any surplus you produce goes back to the grid for your neighbors to use – this means that your meter will turn backwards so your selling electricity to the utility companies. THEY ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO PAY YOU FOR THIS. which means if your average usage is less than your consumpion you get a check from them at wholesale rate which they in turn bill your neighbors who use this power at retail.
Anyway after rebate and tax credits and surplus checks I estimate the ROI (return on investment) to be 3 years less maintaince after that it’s tax free income provided you file for this zone change before it expires.

Suggest me to make wind power in the home?
Hi yahoo answers give me the guidelines for generating the wind power…
A typical wind power system comprises of a tower and five blades to churn out wind energy. The length of the wind tower varies depending on the location of your house. You may need a longer tower if you are in low-wind zone; you can work with a shorter tower if you live by the beach. Using a wind generator, this wind energy can be converted into useful electrical energy to be employed at home for running various electrical appliances. You can even store the power generated for later use, making wind generators more efficient than convention power systems.
Home Energy Conservation Tips, Small Wind Turbine
http://WindEnergy7.com – This is some of our Small Wind Turbine training video dealing with conservation tips. Since we train customers, dealers, and installers nationally, we have many training videos full of content like this. The support and training that we provide with a Small Wind Turbine is second to none. Our patented rooftop small wind turbine kits have hybrid wind/solar technology. We invented the only small wind turbine that’s safe and quiet for your home, certified to 130mph. WindEnergy7 LLC is an Ohio based manufacturer of small wind turbine kits that are sold online. We hold patents for our inventions, small wind turbine kits that make rooftop wind possible. We have a growing dealer network of individuals in the US who use our products and an installed base stretching from Hawaii to Massachusetts. Many customers have found it easy to become customer/dealers with our wind turbine training. Like all our other innovations, we invented Small Wind Turbine training videos as well. Our Customers, Dealers, and Installers are regularly getting more and more training through our home wind/solar video training series.
Our systems all qualify for the IRS 30% small wind tax credit which pays for 30% of your hardware and installation costs. Come visit our site at WindEnergy7.com and have a look at all the training videos and technical education content we have. WindEnergy7.com

How many homes do wind powered generators power each year?
its for my science project
A modern wind turbine has a capacity of 1.5 to 2.5 MW. Unfortunately they don’t run continuously, much less at maximum capacity.
Since this is your science project, I’ll let you do most of the research. Here are some of the items you’ll need.
1) Annual kWh consumption of the "average" home.
2) Installed capacity of wind turbines.
3) Average capacity factor of wind turbines. (25 to 40%)
You need to decide whether your research is going to be just the US or world-wide.
Home Made Wind Generator still running
It has been in service for a few months now and still working great. Thanks to all those who have great web sites that provide info. You know who you are.

Residential Home Wind Turbine
http://WindEnergy7.com – Want Home Wind Turbines? Home wind turbines are our specialty. Buy a home wind turbine kit from our site. Fill out our contact form and I can connect you with the home wind turbine dealer for your area. There are still areas open for new dealers to become the local source for wind/solar systems. So, if you are interested in becoming a home wind turbine dealer fill out the Contact Form at – WindEnergy7.com – and we can see if your area may still be open for you to become the home wind turbine dealer for your county.
You will find links to pictures that I have published of home wind turbine rooftop system installations done recently. Some are featured in newspaper articles and so forth. WindEnergy7 LLC has invented and filed for patents on a few of the technologies that make home rooftop wind turbines feasible. We have been busy training and supporting owners and dealers from California to New Jersey over the past couple of years to expand our network of local home wind turbine dealers.
Our home wind turbene systems are Wind/Solar Hybrid, and are qualified for government tax crdedits of 30%. So, for your investment made in these systems the IRS credits you back 30% within one year of purchase. You get 30% back from the IRS. So, basically the government will pay for almost 1/3 of your investment made in your new home wind turbine energy system. This includes all installation costs and expenses and is a real nice start on your investment payback.
Free electricity isnt all you get from a new home wind turbine, as soon as your system is up, you have improved your home value by atleast an equal amount of the investment. Your green energy home is more likely to sell compared to others with no home generation or emergency power system. Think about it. Look at homes for sale.. Can any of them generate their own free electricity, how many can compete with such a solid green energy capability like your home wind turbine delivers. Its also an attention getter and will bring people to see what its about if you ever need to sell, your home has a dramatic edge and a higher resale value.
The home wind turbine systems are designed for reliable power output for the next 30 years or so. With every price increase of the utility company power your investment gets better all the time. Utility costs are rising all over and will accelerate over the next few years. We expect the cost of electricity to rise and double over Obamas term in office due to cap and trade and increased regulation and market pressure.
