creating a wind turbine or solar panel and plug it in the power out let to get a lower power bill?
or do you have to do something else like ask the company to provide energy to, to get money.
OK lets say i make a solar panel and i plug it in a power outlet, does the energy goes to the electric companies to build credits and lower the bills right?? or if i have enough watts that sending energy to electric companies it exceeds more than being used we get money than a bill, if im correct tell me because i want to build a solar panel and other renewable enrgy sources

I’ve noticed a new charge on our electric bill called PCA. It was explained that it stands for Power Cost Adjustment, which varies from month to month to compensate for the regular fluctuations in the price of the coal and natural gas used to generate the electricity you consume.
What a crock! Our house is totally electric. Our last bill was 3.00 for the electricity…the PCA charge was 8.00. Doesn’t the cost of the electricity already factor in the cost of making it? But now we have to pay for it to be generated. I think a wind generator made specifically for one home’s electrical needs would be money well spent. Any ideas if this PCA charge is legal? Any ideas on where we can find alternate sources of electricity for our home? As high as the bill is, we’re going to be left in the dark anyway.

I am fascinated with the idea of using a wind turbine to provide power for my home. I like the cost saving part, but also the idea that I could be helping the environment too.

I’ve looked online and done a ton of reading and so far, it seems that that the only affordable way to install a wind turbine is going to cost a lot of money and I’d still have to build/install it myself and pray that I got it right. (Actually, I did read my local building codes and incentives and the local power company will come out and inspect it before you hook it up to the house and to the grid.)

I want to use one of those spiral turbines, as I think they are less obtrusive in a neighborhood setting and hopefully, I could install more than one if needed/desired since they are a slim design.

We tend to get heavy hard winds in the summer and I think I could rack up some free energy and possibly even sell back extra power to the local company too during these heavy windy periods we have.

I’ve seen free plans online to build them and honestly, they say they are simple and easy, but I don’t find them the least bit user friendly. I am above average intelligence, but I am no mechanical engineer!

Does anyone have any advice or tips on using/install wind turbines for home use?

Any suggestions on getting it cheaper? I am seriously thinking of trying to make a business out of designing kits or something similar that an average homeowner could manage to install for as cheap as possible.

Thanks ya’ll!
I recall seeing a DIY program where a lady had a spiral wind turbine mounted on the deck of her condo. The show wasn’t about it, but they did mention it. It appeared to be about 12 feet tall and maybe 14 inches in diameter… it was tucked in a corner away from most obstructions. When I’ve googles wind turbines, I still see the tradition fan blade types – I think they are too rustic for my neighborhood – the spiral one I saw on this show was much less of an eyesore.

I know that doing a wind survey would be a good idea, but if it doesn’t get wind all the time, and i’m still committed to it, does it matter if I do or don’t produce wind all the time. In times of our wind storms, could I produce TOO much?
When I’ve looked on my local power company codes, it’s pretty basic – no specifics on how much or little is required. My belief that even a little wind energy would be good – that is IF the price was right.
I am also checking out solar panels too as an option, but they seem very expensive and because of my roofs sun exposure, it’s not ideal – so I’m not sure i should consider it – but I’m not sure wind is 100% the right way to go either.

Any ideas/comparisions/considerations between the two?

www.WindEnergyGuide.net – Residential Wind Turbines DIY Home Power Generator The best guide for those looking to build wind turbines for generating power. Perfect application for small residential wind turbines to meet household electricity needs. A wind turbine is a rotating machine which converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is then converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator, wind power unit (WPU), or wind energy converter (WEC).
