Wind Turbine Generators
Click here for US DOE wind maps.
The World Power wind generators are shown as Configuration E5.
The Southwest Windpower generators can be used in Configuration E4.
Remember to check if your state offers rebates
for
wind power installations that can offset a substantial portion of the purchase
price.
Also consider the net metering laws for your
state to see how any excess generation
is billed.
