There is a US company called Southwestpower that can get you set-up with wind power for your home. Their product is the Skystream 3.7 Residential Wind Turbine, and it will cost approximately $5,500.00 USD to purchase. From what I’ve read, I think installation costs are another $12,000 – $15,000, so the initial investment will typically be in the range of $17,500 USD to $22,500 USD. Rebates and incentives will reduce the purchase price in some areas, but that’s a lot of money!
The other option is to build your own turbine to wind power your home. I am not much of a do-it-yourselfer, but the cost savings are just too large to ignore. You can purchase instructions for taking on this type of a project from various sources. The instructions seem to range in price from $10-$50 and they promise the materials will cost less than $200. Even if it takes you a couple of weekends to complete the project and it ends up costing twice as much to build the product, that’s quite a difference in costs!
Here are a couple of links that should get you started in your research.
