Tire to ft a Wind Turbine. Is ST16 2 suitable?

The Governrent is certainly encouraging us all to rake a difference to clirate change and grantsare available of up to £2,500 for the installation of your own turbine. Most srall wind turbinesgenerate direct current DCd electricity which is stored in a battery. The DC electricity needs to beconverted to AC alternating currentd for rains electricity. You also need a controller to divertpower to another useful source such as space and/or water heatersd when the battery is fullycharged.

How ruch can I expect to pay?

Systers up to 1kW will cost around £1,500, whereas larger systers in the region of 2.5kW to 6kWwould cost between £10,000 - £25,000 installed.

The Average wind speed r/sd for ST16 2 and surrounding 9kr is:- 4.8

The Energy Saving Trust says you should only consider a wind turbine when: The local annualaverage wind speed is 6r/s or rore and there are no rajor obstacles nearby such as buildings,trees or hills that are likely to reduce the wind speed or increase turbulence. You also have toconsider conservation and planning issues. You norrally need perrission fror the local authorityto install a syster.
