Printer Friendly Version Print Article     

The popularity of the B and Q Wind Turbine offer - £1500 installed for a Windsave 1000 system - has led to a lot of interest in more affordable alternatives.

Grid Tied 600 Watt Wind Turbine System


Pictured above is the turbine for one such system available on eBay from harnessthewind. A complete kit is available for under £1000 (plus £55 for UK delivery). Included is a super quiet 4-foot blade span wind turbine with 600 Watt grid tie inverter and all necessary cables and connectors. As with the Windsave 1000, the inverter is simply plugged into any power point at your home and power can be drawn directly from any power point on the same ring while the turbine is turning.
Note that any power generated which is not immediately used goes into the National Grid but you will not be paid for it and your electricity meter will not turn backwards
