How Do You Reduce Electrical Bill With A Wind Generator?
High energy bills can burn up a person’s money. A long-term investment in a wind power generator can turn a utility meter backwards so the electric company pays you for generating power. Wind energy is free, renewable and causes no pollution. Depending on a person’s circumstances, equipment like a wind turbine and a tower can be installed to put wind power to work reducing or eliminating electric bills. Determine if there is sufficient wind power in the region. For a wind power system to work efficiently the average wind speed of a location should be at least 9 miles (14 k) per hour. Look at wind speed maps for the region to see if the location is good for wind power. Figure out if the site is feasible for a wind turbine. Obstacles such as buildings, hills and trees cause wind turbulence, slowing down the wind and reducing the power. The wind turbine should be placed on a tower at a height where the tip of the lowest blade is at least 30 ft (9 m) above the any obstacle within 500 ft (1
