How much energy does a ROOFTOP wind turbine?


battery backup
thinktankthing asked:


…have to produce in order to be linked to the main grid? I’m not really interested in the battery backup system but feel free to include that info as well.

Could you explain these NUMBERS to me like I were a vegetable please?

-generator rpm
-kW
-voltage

Please tell me how they are related and whatever else there is to it. Thanks

    You can link in your wind turbine using an inverter and controller, regardless of how much juice your turbine produces. The more you produce, the less you have to purchase from ‘the Grid’. You can even get money back!

    They have done all the research and have simple step-by-step instructions, even how to get the deep-cycle batteries for free.
    All you have to do is follow the directions.

    To find out how much power you would need to generate to get off the grid:
    look on your electric bill and see how many KWH (KiloWattHours) you used every month for the entire years.
    Add them all up and divide by the 12 and you will get a monthly average of your power consumption (roughly accurate)
    Example:
    So far this year (6 months) you have used/purchased 3600KWH from the electric company ‘Grid’, or an average of 600KWH per month, or about 20KWH per day. That’s just short of 1KW per hour.
    So, you would need to generate about 1KW every hour to ‘get off the grid’.
    The NUMBERS (rpm, kW, voltage, tower height, blade length, etc) varies depending on the design and the manufacturer.
    I spent many hours reading the specs, formulas, and let me tell you, there’s a lot to it.
    That’s why was such a relief. I didn’t have to figure all that stuff out, I just had to follow simple instructions.
    good luck to you
