First adopters are those willing to pay a premium beyond that of your average consumer ( lets go WAY back and remember the iPhone <-sarcasm.). gamer who will pay twice as much for a video card which is only 20% better or tenfold as much for a sports car which is only twice as fast. It is well understood that the "overpriced" (yet somehow still purchased) runway/fashion magazine apparel of today will be the source material for the mass produced, and almost universally affordable, walmart / J.C.Pennys merchandise of tomorrow. Ill do it happily and regularly and as many other locals do the same I've noticed that there is a growing selection and increased availability. WRONG, I'll buy it now.I'll pay more for a product that tastes much like the imported stuff from walmart's grocery. This is similar to claiming that I wont buy locally grown produce until I can get it for a comparable price. BALDERDASH! This argument completely ignores how markets and consumers actually function.

In response to the worn out and road weary "return on investment" argument, i say.
#Vertical home wind turbine install
You just need to install it and connect it to your house and grid connect. Last of all this is a complete system to include the inverter, tower, and turbine. It does a great job in turbulent wind areas like residential communities, it does not have to search for the wind, and it captures it from all directions. The cost is still cheaper than solar and qualifies for rebates.

The look is very unique, artistic and it will produce affordable power. You will hear the wind through the trees and howling past the power lines before you will hear the turbine! It has noise signature significantly less than you homes air conditioning unit. The audible noise signature is 5db higher than normal ambient noise levels. We belive for the following reasons people will choose their design. So you won’t have to fight to produce your own energy. This turbine already meets the zoning laws in almost every city. Yes, the Savanious design does not match its horizontal brothers in power production, but in the residential market I can tell you that this is welcomed and long awaited tubrine that performs nicely in its class and your neighbors won’t complain.they will want one.

The Helix Wind, wind turbine is a well designed product, I know I have the demo in my possession right now and I have to say they have their product is designed to capture the wind that sets the standard. The highest day was 19 kwh with an average of 10-11! That's maybe 4,000 kwh/year based on those numbers and these are windy Spring numbers so we're talking probably something closer to 3,000 kwh/yr! That BLOWS for a $30k, 5 kw rated machine! Needless to say I was VERY unimpressed and would NEVER but one of these based on what I saw today. I spoke to the owner and she showed me their loggs over the past 2 weeks (it just got hooked up). With the exception of one brief burst into the 70 watt range, the thing was literally producing < 15 watts the whole time I was watching it. The Helix VAWT was barely moving and a times with the wind blowing quite briskly in my face it was literally not moving at all! The inverter was on the outside of the building so I checked out the output. I got there and the wind socks were 3/4 to fully straight out. According to, the wind was 10-15 gusting up to 25-30 so I figured it would be a good day to go down and check it out. I saw the 5k Helix VAWT in action at Hampton Airfield in Hampton, NH today.
