Yes, I should have been more specific - I was thinking of something much smaller that could sit along the roof-line of a typical suburban house.
The site supplies separate wind inverters too. I guess that means that the turbines supply very different power to solar panels.
- NamTaf 11y agoThe vertical turbines are quite small. Here's one at a house in Brisbane near where I live: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-27.50561,153.05533,3a,75y,163.9h,84.78t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKNMKf64oUjHfy7pvAxTQUg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-27.50561,153.05533,3a,75y,1... I suspect there's issues attaching it to the house itself, but for houses on the top of a hill such a setup can work well. That thing gets spinning really quickly some days.
- andymurd 11y agoThat's a great example - is it in a particularly windy area? I will look into installing something like that.
- NamTaf 11y agoIt's on top of a relatively large hill in the suburbs, so it gets a lot of breeze. Scan around behind you and you'll see the extent of it. The traffic lights are just about at the top of that hill, so that house has at least a 180 degree view of the east, which is where the bay/ocean is and thus where breezes often blow from.
