How long is the payback period?
Payback periods vary greatly with the particulars of each site. The real question should be “What is the life cycle cost of an installation?” If you buy a wind turbine system that has a design life of 10 to 15 years (most prop type turbines), you will only reap the benefits of that system for about 10 to 15 years. However, if you buy a system that has a design life in excess of 20 years, you will benefit from the production of the system for more than 20 years, and through periods of ever increasing utility and fuel costs. Return on investment calculations seldom figure in the increasing cost of utility or fuel charges so often result in ROI’s greater than reality. With renewable energy sources your utility or fuel cost to run them is – ZERO! We have a wind turbine platform with a 20+ year design life and very low maintenance that will provide a free source of energy for you for a very long time. Even if you can’t predict that you will be at any one location for 20+ years, you are inst
