Economics will depend on system chosen, local wind resource, electricity costs, and
how you use your wind system
how you use your wind system
Evaluate energy efficiency options first!
Approach investment as you would any
other major purchase – do your homework
| Installation Costs |
- Estimate $7-10/installed watt for typical system
- Smaller systems require smaller initial outlay, but cost more per
watt
- Taller towers cost more, but usually reduce the payback period
A 5-25 kW system can meet the needs of a
typical home
Customers paying 12 cents/kWh or more
for electricity with average wind speeds of
10 mph or more can expect a payback
period of 8-16 years
