Small Wind Electric Systems

Can I use wind energy to power my home? This question is being asked across the country as more people look for affordable and reliable sources of electricity.

Small wind electric systems can make a significant contribution to our nation’s energy needs. Although wind turbines large enough to provide a significant portion of the electricity needed by the average U.S. home generally require one acre of property or more, approximately 21 million U.S. homes are built on one-acre and larger sites, and 24% of the U.S. population lives in rural areas.
