What exactly is a WindEnergy 7 Home Wind Turbine Kit? The WindEnergy7 kit is a simple way to produce energy for your home or small business. It is unlikely that a home wind turbine kit will get you totally off the electric grid but it can take a bite out of energy bills every month. The WindEnergy7 kit system is a horizontal axis wind turbine. That means it has the look of the classic windmill that we are all familiar with - large blades turning in a plane perpendicular to the earth's surface.
How much does the kit cost? There are several cost elements if you want to do this right: 1. Purchase of the kit $10,000
2. Installation on your roof $2,000
3. Connection to your home electricity service $3,000 How difficult is the kit to put together and install? "Kit" is a bit misleading in that it implies putting one together is easy. It's not like a model airplane but it is very rewarding to see what you have accomplished and see the resulting energy being transferred from wind to electricity once it is done. Since it is unlikely you have assembled a kit like this before, you are going to have a learning curve to get the windmill put together and up and running. Installing your own kit is very doable for the average person, you just need to go into it with eyes wide open so you aren't frustrated at some of the more technical pitfalls. What are the pitfalls? The biggest mistakes people make are assuming they can do this all themselves without outside professional assistance. The smartest way to get things done is to plan on assembling the kit yourself and then having others - a mechanical and an electrical contractor - do the installation of the home wind turbine on your house and tie into the electrical system. What distinguishes this product from its competitors? Aesthetically pleasing and cost effective. There are no old-timers in this business but Wind Energy 7 is one of a handful of companies out there with a proven track record. The cost for the kit itself is a good bit less than competitors' products. Installation is straightforward as seen in the video above. What are the alternatives? There are competitors for both composite home wind turbine kit products as well as kits made out of cheaper materials. At the end of the day, you are going to be looking at this thing a lot, so it is important that you choose a kit that you like to look at. If you live in a neighborhood, then you must consider which windmill style will pass the local covenants. Many neighborhood associations will not allow wind turbines to be mounted on roofs. If you live out in the country though, you may choose to not even mount the WindEnergy7 wind turbine system on your roof and mount it on a tower at 100 feet where there's more wind.
