You can buy something in the 1-3 KW range at Home Depot. I've seen one in person at an off-grid house and the owner couldn't understand why people even used so

You can buy something in the 1-3 KW range at Home Depot. I've seen one in person at an off-grid house and the owner couldn't understand why people even used solar. This was 15+ years ago though, so solar was MUCH more expensive than today while a turbine I'd imagine was about the same?
- sfblah 5y agoI assume it'd be super expensive to grid tie it though, right? Sorry. I'm a total noob at this stuff.
- newyankee 5y agoI suspect the intermittency of wind is higher and requires a decent amount of energy storage to smoothen the output. As energy storage gets cheaper, probably off grid installations can complement their solar installations with wind as well, depending on the location.
