Your Questions About Wind Generators Cost
Charles asks…
What size and cost for windmill power for school needed?
My school is trying to get an energy saving wind generator to help make it “green.” Our physics class is working on the cost / size issue, and I would like to know an estimate for both. I have been researching and according to my teacher our school uses 100,000 KWh each month.
admin answers:
There are two options here.
1) Install a wind turbine to meet the building’s maximum demand. This allows the school to “disconnect” from the grid.
2) Install a wind turbine that reduces the school’s carbon footprint by producing enough kWh to offset all the electric energy used by the school.
I suspect your teacher is interested in option # 2, since all you were given is the energy usage of 100,000 kWh per month.
The average wind turbine only produces about 25 to 30% of its rated power (RP). A really good location might get up to 40%. This value is referred to as the Rough Capacity Factor or RCF. I will assume your location has wind conditions that will result in an RCP of 30%
RP x RCF x 24 hours x 30 days = 100,000 kWh.
Solve for Rated Capacity:
RP = 100,000 kWh ÷ (RCF x 24 x 30)
RP = 100,000 kWh ÷ (.30 x 24 x 30)
RP = 100,000 kWh ÷ 216 hours = 462 kW.
Round this up to 500 kW.
Assuming an average cost of $3000 per kW, a 500 kW wind turbine is going to cost you about $1.5M before tax incentives and other credits.
Daniel asks…
what are the components needed in order to make both: a solar-panel and the system to apply it to daily use?
I heard on an add (trying to be VERY persuasive for me to get the guide) that building solar panels, wind generators and the system to put them to use, is easy and much cheaper than getting the set and it implemented by specialist, but the guide cost $50 so i cant be bothered, but i would still be interested in learning more about it for free! So anyone got the know how?
admin answers:
Well, you can’t make a solar panel. Unless what they were talking about was buying solar cells (those small 1″x1.5″ cells) and soldering them all up together to make a panel. Then buying or making an aluminum frame and putting a low iron glass sheet over it. Then wiring up the diodes for the panel you just made. I guess it would be cheaper if you don’t count the hours of labor you would have to put into it to make one panel. Oh also, you would need an inverter to convert it to AC. Some people just buy broken solar cells which cost next to nothing and make a panel out of that.
As far as the wind generators? I guess it would be far less time consuming than the solar panels and that might be worth doing but you will still need an inverter. They are actually pretty handy for camping, I made one that gave out 24v at max with a voltage regulator. The only problem with that is that you’re going to need more than one and they need to be bigger. Plus you need a healthy amount of wind. They are just trying to make a quick buck, this isn’t something practical really.

Your Questions About Wind Turbine Cost
Steven asks…
What does the wind turbine do in Farmville?
The wind turbine costs 1,500,000 and I need 45 neighbours…so I can’t buy it yet, what does it do?
admin answers:
It makes you realise you need to get a life.
Donald asks…
How much does a GE wind turbine cost. Is the cost of the tower included?
Wind turbine 1.5 megawatts to 3.6 megawatts.
admin answers:
A 5-Turbine wind farm in NJ cost 12.5 million dollars and supplies approximately 2500 homes. A 1.5 MW turbine can supply about 500 homes.
So, about 2.5 million dollars per turbine.
It would seem that it takes about 10-12 years for a 1.5 MW turbine to pay for itself, assuming a 500 dollar/year electricity bill.

Your Questions About Wind Turbine Generators For Home
Steven asks…
how can i build a wind turbine at home?
I want to build a wind turbine that will allow me to power my home. Can this be done and can you show me where i can find some wind turbine plans?
admin answers:
I have recently built three as a hobby. I have actually managed to lower my electric bill by almost 30% (I use only 2 of the generators). The first one I built was a true learning experience. I learned, a bit later, that the blades really need to be aircraft like.
Listed below are three sites that I know will get you started on the right path. Have fun, and feel free to write to me. I’ll give you the benefit of my experience, and hopefully, you can teach me something new too along the way.

James asks…
How much would it cost me to install a complete wind turbine system?
With my electricity bill as high as it is, I’m considering going off of city power and installing a wind turbine system that can power my whole house. I live in the state of Oregon. Can someone give me a ball park cost for such an endeavour and what kind of performance I could expect? Thanks.
admin answers:
A few years ago a coworker looked into this because they found out after they moved a mobile home onto their property that it was going to cost about $10,000 to have electric brought in. The wind turbine setup was also about the same price. Remember that your generator needs to be larger than your average load to charge batteries for when the wind does not blow. I am in Oklahoma where we have some of the best conditions for wind generation and still would need considerable storage.
I helped a friend build his own to power a storage/shop building. He did it cheap by getting an old windmill from a farmer for $100 including the tower. Bought a used truck alternator at Pick a part junkyard. For $25. The batteries and inverter cost another $500.

Your Questions About Wind Turbine Technician Salary
Nancy asks…
Becoming a wind turbine technican?
I think I should pursue this career. I am 18 years old and the future looks really bright for this. People say that you could travel all around the country and that would be AWESOME. all of it sounds pretty good except for the salary. They only make on average 43k a year which is awful in my opinion. Does that sound about right? making 43k a year?
admin answers:
It’s anywhere from 36K to 70K depending on what you’re doing or what your skill set is.
Most “technicians” are just doing preventative maintenance/checks and there isn’t really a whole lot involved other than climbing.
They even call janitors “custodial technicians” so don’t let the title fool you especially if it’s a trade school trying to sell you on their program(s).
You should choose a career path that is what YOU want, not what pays the most. You’re going to have to go to work and do it every single day and if it’s not something you really enjoy, then you will become very disheartened very quickly. You also want to be treated with respect, not like someone who can be replaced by the next set of shoes that shows up.
