Wind Turbines

The amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine is directly related to the size of the wind turbine and the amount of wind available. As it is unlikely that the wind will be blowing all day everyday it is preferable, as with PV Electric, that the system is balanced by connection to the National Grid. Wind Turbines usually work in wind speeds from around 4mph to around 30mph. They are usually mounted on a stand-alone mast and connect to your house via a transformer and isolation switch and preferably an export meter to your electricity supply company or the Grid.
