Part 5/7:
The Nemo 500 wind turbine, with a maximum output of 500 watts, has been variable in its performance. On average, the homeowners have seen energy outputs fluctuate between 50 and 100 watts on moderately windy days. When conditions are optimal, outputs can reach above 200 watts. The family understands that wind energy generation is inherently inconsistent, influenced by local geography, such as their position in a valley and proximity to mountains.
While the Nemo 500 wind turbine cannot stand alone as the primary energy source, it acts as a valuable supplement to their system. The energy generated is stored in batteries, making it a welcome addition, especially on days when they can avoid running their inefficient generator.
