Are you interested in installing a domestic wind turbine? Are you looking for useful advice about the benefits of doing so? Then Voltsys is the ideal company for you. We’re a company that is dedicated to designing control systems and inverter solutions for domestic sustainable energy systems. We’ve been working with companies that sell wind turbines, solar panels and hydro systems since 2008, designing and developing the perfect inverters. We know that the inverter is an incredibly important part of a domestic wind turbine or other sustainable energy system because it converts the energy into usable voltage. As such, we know a lot about the benefits of installing a domestic wind turbine and we also understand just how daunting the process can seem.
How do wind turbines work?
Domestic wind turbines are not the most common choice for a sustainable energy system, often when a home decides to invest in a system, they choose solar panels. This is entirely valid and useful choice but a wind turbine can be just as helpful as solar panels. A domestic wind turbine harnesses the power of the wind to generate electricity by wind forcing the blades around and generating electricity. The stronger the wind blows, the more electricity is produced. There are two different types of domestic-sized wind turbines: pole mounted and building mounted. A pole mounted wind turbine is a freestanding turbine that is appropriately exposed on your property. It requires more space than a building mounted but they do have more generation capacity (about 5-6kW). Building mounted turbines are smaller, but require less space. They only have a generation capacity of 1-2kW, and often cause vibration problems within the building.
What are the benefits of domestic wind turbines?
Like all sustainable energy systems, domestic wind turbines have a number of advantages that makes it a great choice for almost any home:
Environmentally friendly
Many of our customers are looking to find a way to do better when it comes to taking care of the environment. Switching to a domestic wind turbine is an excellent way to do this because they cause absolutely no pollution. Using a domestic wind turbine will allow you to reduce your carbon footprint and help to safeguard the environment, preserving it for future generations.
Cost effective
If you’re tired of high electricity bills, then investing in a domestic wind turbine will help you bring that cost down. Once you’ve paid for your turbine, you’ll be getting electricity essentially for free, which can make a huge difference to your bill. Although it is, of course, an initial investment, a domestic wind turbine will pay for itself in no time at all. It also means that you can avoid future energy price rises because you’re not relying on the national grid. This long term benefit is incredibly useful as the savings are long term.
