If you’re grid-connected, a small wind turbine will reduce your electricity bill 50 to 90%… Small wind turbines are silent and easy to set up.
A small turbine should be placed at an unobstructed site, for optimum efficiency — a rooftop is fine, small turbines don’t need towers.
A turbine producing about 800 watt power should be enough for a standard home, but if you’re going to rely solely on wind power, carefully estimate how much power you’ll need. Check whether you need a planning permission with your local council, in some places you might also get a tax incentive or a rebate from your local authority.

We have developed a battery that has 75% less weight than a standard auto, wheel chair, or golf cart battery and 90% less lead, at about 50% of the sizeof current batteries. We are about to produce our first 100 batteries for testing and would be interested in providing them to promising markets for evaluation. Could you contact me to discuss possible companies with solar battery needs of this quality?
