1) What size turbine would I need for my home?
ANSWER: This is really best answered based on a homeowner's budget and how much electricity they wish to generate. As a baseline for comparison, an average home uses approximately 9,400 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year (about 780 kWh per month). Depending upon the average wind speed in the area, a wind turbine rated in the range of 5 to 15 kilowatts would be required to make a significant contribution to meet this demand.
 

2) How tall is a tower for a typical residential or light commercial wind turbine ?
ANSWER: Tower heights range from 35 ft up to about 160 ft in this category. The taller the tower, the more energy that can be created. Although many areas have restrictions on how high you can place a tower on your property so it is best to check with your local planning and zoning board before anything else.
 

3) Is Idaho considered a good state for generating wind power ?
ANSWER: Yes ! Idaho is currently considered the 13th best state in the country for wind power.
 

4) How long do wind turbines last?
