How Much Does a Wind Turbine Cost?

There are a lot of factors that influence the cost of your system that need to be considered. In addition to the cost of the turbine itself there are also zoning fees, permits, and cost of connecting with utility lines, size of the tower, etc… According to According to the American Wind Energy Association; “small wind energy systems cost from $3,000 to $5,000 for every kilowatt of generating capacity.” It may seem expensive at first but if carefully planned, a home system could pay itself of much faster than you would expect. Wind turbines become more cost effective in the long run if you increase the size of your rotor. Keep in mind the amount of wind in your area as well as how much you are paying for power when you plan your purchase.

Even though the prices above are pretty high, they are talking about purchasing a system (not a kit) and paying for professional installation. Obviously, you can cut those prices down quite a bit by doing things yourself, and that’s what we’re here for.
