Using the wind to run things is not a new concept. Windmills have been around a long time. In the past they were used to pump water and grind wheat. Today we have a huge advantage over those old types of windmills.
Our technological advances have made it possible for us to convert wind energy much more efficiently into usable, and storable, electricity. We have even gotten to the point where units are small enough to be installed in a backyard or on a rooftop. So, a home rooftop wind turbine has become financially viable.
Not all wind generators are the traditional windmill shape; there are now different sizes and even different shapes. The traditional windmill type as well as a vertical wind turbine is suitable for a home rooftop wind turbine.
The technology for capturing and converting the wind will only continue to improve so the amount of electricity we get from wind power will continue to increase as well.
Even so, today's wind generators can generate up to 60% of the electricity the average household needs to run their electrical appliances. That can add up to a huge savings yearly and for years to come.
While one small home rooftop wind turbine won't be able to generate all the power your home needs it will still be able to generate enough to make it worth the investment.
To really get a high rate of return on your investment, you should consider building your own home rooftop wind turbine. It's easy and inexpensive and you'll recoup your money in a few months. If you bought a unit the cost would be significantly more and therefore take much longer to recoup the investment.
I hope this article has helped you better understand the advantages of a home rooftop wind turbine for your home. You can be environmentally friendly and save money at the same time.
