The home wind turbine may be taking the renewable market for houses by storm, but they are not for all homeowners. Just because something is popular does not mean it is right for everyone. In some locations the technology just has not caught up.
With the advent of renewable energy systems and the shrinking supplies of fossil fuels on a worldwide basis, we've all become students of home wind turbine devices and similar renewable systems like solar and geothermal that produce electricity for homes from natural resources. Even though it is a lot of trouble, these energy sources can produce power for you at your home virtually forever, for free.
Here are the reasons they often don't work though:
Your wind isn't powerful enough. Sometimes, the wind in a specific spot just is not strong enough to support the economics of a wind device. While the home wind turbine can be a powerful solution for most any homeowner, it is incumbent upon the homeowner to do enough due diligence specifically where they're planning to install the turbine to make sure there is enough wind there to produce the energy they think they are going to make.
You live in an area that won't allow them. Some local governments will not allow you to have wind turbines on your own property. There are various restrictions ranging anywhere from height to setback from property lines. It could well be that your local community is not caught up in the green revolution and simply won't allow you to have a home wind turbine in the place that you want to install it.
You install it in the wrong place. A big way to lose is to put one of these residential wind turbines in the wrong location. When I say wrong location I mean one that is not optimized to produce the most electricity from the wind that's available. Chances are there are at least a couple locations on your land that will supply enough energy to make you happy, but you have to do your homework to find out the best one.
In summary, the home wind turbine is the best thing to come along in a long time for renewable energy, but it can be an albatross if you get ahead of yourself and don't carefully assess your options. It is always best with any home project to find out what obstacles are out there before you spend any money.
