Building A Wind Generator
Building a wind generator is a much more cost effective solution than buying one. The average price of a 1000 watt wind generator is USD $2500. I would have to save up for more than a year to be able to buy one. That's why I built my own wind generator.
It's not as difficult as you might think either. A wind generator has some basic parts. I'll deal with the tower first.
Many people have researched and found that buying a wind tower is very expensive. That's true, but when I built mine I actually made $100 getting it. You see, many people these days have switched to satellite television, but they still have those television towers up. I was doing some construction at a house and noticed this. I asked the guy if I could buy it off of him. He told me "I'll give you $100 dollars to take that thing away.
The next part of a wind generator is the generator. I really like wind generators because they allow you to produce AC or DC power. This is good for several reasons. First, if you don't have the money for a battery system you can hook up an AC motor and generate AC power for your house. As you can afford batteries you can switch the motor to a DC one and charge the battery system.
Now for the most important part of your wind generator- the blades. Another trick that we've learned to make blades is to use PVC tubing. I know it sounds crazy, but a correctly cut PVC pipe works great as a wind generator blade. The plus side of using PVC as blades is that they are very strong.
The last piece you need for your wind generator is the vane. This can be made out of anything. Mine is a triangle I Cut Out of some plastic.
Assembling the wind generator is usually a whole day job-- good for a weekend-- you need to set up the tower and secure it with 5 guy wires. These wires are important as they provide stability so your wind generator doesn't fall down. You will have to mount the turbine on the top- which should be done before you set up your tower. Make sure to attach the wires to the generator because I've forgotten.
You will probably want to do some load testing on your generator to see the wattages it produces at different wind speeds.

Wind Power Generator - Wind Mill Home Power
The most common height of the home base towers are 60 to 120 feet.
The tower position is on the house side exposed to the prevailing wind for your area. This can be source from the internet on your nearest weather.com
Wind is under value for a recognized renewable energy source for generation of power for residential home use.
A wind-powered generator, or turbine, has blades which spin to generate electricity. The electricity can either be used for your home and any excess sold to the utility power company.
In a typical residential home application, the power from the wind generator is connected to the main service wire to the home. Special interconnection equipment (meters) will allow powering the home, or sending the excess power created by the generator back to the utility grid.
Home energy power system generated from a wind turbine can be designed as an “off-grid” type using batteries for storage of excess DC electricity.
Many utilities credit the homeowner’s account for power produced by wind turbines that is fed back to the grid and require that special safety features be installed to assure the safety of line workers during power outages.
The amount of power generated by a wind turbine generators depends on the capacity of the turbine (rated in kilowatts, or kW), size of the generator blades and the wind speed.
Manufacturers will provide a power curve which shows the turbine’s output (in watts) at given wind speeds. For a typical home that uses 10,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year, a unit rated at between 5 and 20 kW will meet most of the home’s electricity needs.
Some wind installations will be best suited for remote or low-density residential lots of one acre or more.
Park and home developments may have restrictive covenants that do not allow wind towers to be installed.
