Wind Power Oregon
How much would it cost me to install a complete wind turbine system?
With my electricity bill as high as it is, I’m considering going off of city power and installing a wind turbine system that can power my whole house. I live in the state of Oregon. Can someone give me a ball park cost for such an endeavour and what kind of performance I could expect? Thanks.
A few years ago a coworker looked into this because they found out after they moved a mobile home onto their property that it was going to cost about $10,000 to have electric brought in. The wind turbine setup was also about the same price. Remember that your generator needs to be larger than your average load to charge batteries for when the wind does not blow. I am in Oklahoma where we have some of the best conditions for wind generation and still would need considerable storage.
I helped a friend build his own to power a storage/shop building. He did it cheap by getting an old windmill from a farmer for $100 including the tower. Bought a used truck alternator at Pick a part junkyard. for $25. The batteries and inverter cost another $500.
