These are the things you have to do if you want to get a wind turbine for the least possible price. Getting a wind turbine cheap just involves doing your homework up front. Here are the things that you must consider in order to make sure you optimize your purchase and get the lowest price you possibly can: 1. Look at several places where the wind turbine could be installed - your thinking needs to be - where can I get the most wind and not do anything that will irritate the people that live around me? There are usually several places that will fit that bill. The roof is often one of the best. Wind you find on your roof can often be chaotic but the speed is high there and you can make a lot of electricity. 2. Make a diagram of where the wind flows on your property - this is the most critical thing you will do. You need to understand where the strongest wind is in order to optimize the location of your new windmill. This is not a quick undertaking. You have to collect some data at various points that you picked out as possible sites. Even though there is not ideal amount of time to collect data, several weeks will give you a good indication whether there will be enough wind in those places to support your turbine. You need at least 9 miles/hour by today's standards of technology to make it work. 3. Get some training - the best way to learn how to make a wind turbine is to buy a set of drawings that also include audiovisual instruction on how to assemble and install it. Seeing how someone else has done it before will make things much easier for you. 4. Get some prices - the plans that you buy will have various components listed in them with specifications. You need to check on the Internet and find out what your options are for purchasing those some parts. You don't have to buy from the Internet sources though - you could also purchase most of what you need to buy from a hardware store. If you take the time to think through how you're going to accomplish all this you will also find a location to do your assembly work near where you are going to install your device. The best way to get a wind turbine cheap is to do the work yourself and pay particular attention upfront to your plan of action.
