Part 3/7:
Residential installations, where homeowners benefit from small turbines usually rated between 2.5 to 7 kW.
Commercial applications, where larger turbines (up to 30 kW or more) are mounted on tall masts to capture higher wind speeds.
Specialized uses such as on sailing ships, where tiny turbines (e.g., 12 watts) maintain battery charges for essential functions.
Hybrid systems combining micro wind turbines with solar panels and batteries for off-grid solutions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
To maximize the potential benefits of small wind turbines, it’s crucial to steer clear of certain mistake-riddled practices. Here are the top six pitfalls highlighted by Patrick:
