Hi ABM community,
I am considering installing a wind turbine to contribute toward powering our home and lower our energy bills. We have a large elevated site are are not overlooked so I expect we will have 'good wind'. The idea would be to install a reasonably big unit e.g. ~4kw hooked up to a battery pack that is smart integrated into powering our home. We use quite a lot of electricity - est. 20k KWH p.a. and I expect this will increase over time as we switch to electric cars. I also heard that it may be an option to sell an excess power generated back to the grid in the future?
Greatly appreciate any insights on from anyone who has a similar setup around costs, recommended suppliers / fitters, grants and anything else that I should take into account?
