Solar And Wind 4 Me

There are several quality ones depending on how much of your energy you want to get from the turbine. Check your energy bill or call your power company to find out what your monthly use is. (mine is about 800kw hours/month)

The Skystream 3.7 will probably cost about $ 15 - 20,000 installed and will make about 400kw hours/ month in 12 mph winds. www.skystreamenergy.com

The Bergey 10kw will be about $45 -50,000 installed and will produce about 1000kw hours /month. www.bergey.com

The Jacobs 31-20 will be about $60,000 installed and would be about 2000kw hours/month. www.windturbine.net

the Skystream and the Bergey are low maintenance, the Jacobs needs oil changes and greasing once or twice a year which you do need to climb the tower to do. It only takes about an hour and it is nice to get a different perspective on the surrounding area once in a while. These are all grid tied systems that work with the power company so you do not have to have batteries to store the energy for calm days.

I am doing a science project that requires me to fill in a few pages of notes about windmill design and don't know a lot about the topic

solar panels on homes would reduce our consuption of coal, reduce the need for nuclear power, and create U.S. Based manufacturing for these panels, and create jobs in constuction.

Solve our energy crisis politicians, with tax incentives, or home building regulation.

Because politicians can't make you put solar panels on your home if you're building one. If you want to, do it for your own home. Oh, and another thing; politicians aren't there to solve our problems for us. They're just there to run the day-to-day business of government.

It would be nice to go green but it needs to make sense money wise. We have a 1,300 square foot home on the beach home with plenty of sun. Our electric bill is 100 bucks a month give or take. How much will solar panels cost and how many solar panels will we need to effectively power our home.

You could easily knock 40 percent or more from your power bill by using a manual on off switch on your electric hot water heater and check efficiency of any electric refrigerator and or freezers.

Like you say, your place is on the water, wind power would be the best way to go because of onshore winds which would get you up and running for much less than solar and likely be good 24 / 7 rather than daylight only.

You may have seen the many different small home wind turbines you are able to purchase in the shops, yet you may be undecided whether one of these small scale wind turbines is for you. Before purchasing a turbine, you should do some research regarding; can your environment make a turbine efficient enough, what alternative energy sources can you harness, and which technology is the best value for money.

Below we shall discuss each of the three points explained above in more detail, outlining the factors relating to each.

Wind turbines only generally work to their full potential in very few areas. To gain an efficient use of a turbine, you should do some in depth research and a site survey into how sustainable your environment is to support a wind turbine. For efficient placement of a wind turbine, you need to look into the average annual wind speed and direction. There are many references available to explain what speed the wind must be for different sized turbines. Wind direction is only a factor which relates to which position your place your turbine in, yet many modern small home turbines are very mobile and you can usually twist them to face the direction you prefer.

It will be well worth your time to browse the market looking for alternative renewable energy sources. This mainly depends on your budget, but solar panels are a very popular choice as either an addition, or a total replacement for a wind turbine. Solar panels generally offer you a greater pound per watt, and are also generally more efficient for home power production.

Deciding which technology is the best value for money, also ties in with the environment factor. You need to do research and decide which of the renewable energy sources is most in abundant in your region, for example if you live on a small island off the coast of northern Scotland, then you would more than likely choose a home wind turbine as you are exposed to strong winds, but if you live in the center of England (where wind speeds are usually quite low), you may opt for a solar panel.

So, as we can see here, many factors will decide on the right natural energy source for you. If you can afford to integrate renewable energy production methods into your home, it is strongly suggested, considering the current situation with global warming, that you make an attempt to install these more environmentally friendly appliances.

http://www.greenearth4energy.com/solar-panel-systems.html - Solar panel systems can bring you attractive tax incentives, do find out from your area for more information regarding tax incentives. There should be a rebate offered by the governments to encourage the installation of solar panels in homes. The installation of solar panel may require some time to complete but then you can reap all of the benefits.
