When you are looking for the best wind turbine for your house, there are a number of things that you will be required to collect data on that will determine your success. The information that you have to collect is not all that complicated but it does require some time. Also, it is information that you're not used to having to dig for so will require a bit of legwork on your part and probably some inefficiency in the collection process. The 3 most important criteria for deciding where you can place the device are... Local rules - there are so many people overlooking this rule and the impact it can have on your project is crucial to understand. This is one of the first places to check and you want to know before you start picking the options where you could locate the device, what the local opposition will be to you getting exactly what you are after. Your neighbors - just because you can install a home wind turbine in a certain location doesn't mean you should. Your neighbors might strongly object. You need to test the waters here before you go and buy something and put it up on your roof and draw a lot of attention and negative feedback from your neighbors. It doesn't make sense to put what is up firstt and then find out later that you have take it down because so many people are annoyed by it. Where best optimizes what you can get out of the wind - This is the king of all considerations. That is because you are obviously trying to make the most power that you can from the wind. There will be one of two optimal places where you get way more energy than anywhere else on your property. It would be nice if you could optimally locate the wind turbine there but that is not always even an option. In conclusion, the best wind turbine will be the location that gets you to the intersection of these 3 factors. You cannot consider one of these really more importantly than another because all of them are matched significantly to the success of your project. If you pay attention and optimize the project from a power consumption perspective then you may really mess up your options by not considering the local rules that ultimately can determine whether or not you can put a wind turbine up in the first place. Like everything else, wind turbine projects at home are a real balancing act of personal goals versus the community's and the political goals of others.
