Q:  If I use about 1.5 kilowatts of power per hour then a 1.5kw wind turbine should be all I need, right? 

A.   No. The "rated" output of wind generators are something of an unobtainable number. It's not that the generator isn't capable of producing that output, it's just that in order to do so it would have to have a continual source of wind at the rated wind speed.  For example, a wind generator rated at 2kw at 32mph would have to have constant (as in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) 32mph winds to produce the full 2kw of power. In my area that wind speed has been obtained exactly once in the past year, and then not for very many hours at that.  If you are using the rated output to compare makes and models of wind generators you should also note that no two generators use the same wind speed for their output number. One might be 1.2kw at 20mph, the next might be 1.5kw at 25mph... the 1.5kw might only produce 1.0kw at 20mph, but you will have to dig deeper to find that out. And, to top that off, depending on where you live, you may only see 20mph winds 12 times a year...

October 3rd 2008.  President Bush signed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, H.R.1424 (the bank bailout bill), that includes a new income tax credit to help consumers purchase small wind turbines (and solar too) for home, farm, or business use.  

Owners who purchase small wind systems (and place them in service) can receive a credit of 30% of the total installed cost of the system, not to exceed $4,000, limited to $500 per 1/2 rated KW (see your tax preparer for other qualifications).   There is no longer a cap on solar starting in 2009, but it's still capped at $2,000 for the rest of 2008.  In 2009 or after, buy $20,000 worth of solar and get a credit on your tax return of $6,000.  Buy 4kw of Wind Turbine for more then $13,334 and get $4,000 back on your federal tax return.

The wind credit is available for equipment installed from Jan 1, 2008 through Dec 31, 2016... (for more news go to the News link...)
