What capacity wind turbine should I buy if my monthly consumption is 1000Kwh for my residence?

Question

Are wind turbines a better and economic option to solar panels and what are the cost ?

Answer 1

Determining the capacity of turbine isn't as simple as knowing how may Kwh you use.  There are a plethora of variables that go into purchasing a wind turbine which can only be assessed by a trained professional.  

Things which must be taken into consideration include height, blade style, average wind speed, as well as state, and local, regulations.  Additionally you would need to contact your local electric company to determine if they allow energy by-back in the event that you produce more than you consume.

Anything you would ever need to know can be found at the American Wind Energy Associations website, located at http://www.awea.org/.
