600 Watt Wind Turbine with Tower Kit

Written by CoolSouth.com

600-Watt Wind Turbine with Tower Kit 45644Vendor: Sunforce

Cost: $1199.00

Quantity: Complete Kit w/ 30' Tower Included

Product Overview:

A 600-Watt Wind Turbine with Tower Kit 45644 is a great Energy Efficiency product because it produces clean, renewable and (more importantly) free energy. By using wind to turn an electric turbine generator, the 600-Watt Wind Turbine with Tower Kit 45644 can produce up to 600 watts of electricity. What can 600 watts of power do for a home? 600 watts can power a 5000 BTU a/c window unit or a fridge or 10 -60 watt light bulbs or 600 watts can just be subtracted from current usage to help lower eletric bills. But if installation is performed in area where there is no wind, this product could be a poor investment in energy efficiency. However if the home is located in a wind area like a Coastal area, the energy savings could be huge. The 600-Watt Wind Turbine with Tower Kit 45644 is an energy product with a lot of potential if installed in a windy region. Unfortunately, the south is not traditionally area known for it's wind power resources. The best place in the United States for windpower are the Rocky Mountains and the Midwest. Here is a great wind chart from Wind Powering America. If you decide to purchase this product, please post your opinion and help future consumers make informed decisions.

      Grape Solar 8,500-Watt Monocrystalline PV Grid-Tied Solar Power Kit GS-8500-KIT

      can reduce the energy consumption of a southern home by as much as 50%. Considering the average yearly electricity bill in the south is $1515.00. That can add up to some serious savings over the lifespan of the

      Grape Solar 8,500-Watt Monocrystalline PV Grid-Tied Solar Power Kit GS-8500-KIT

       Combine this renewable energy with other energy efficient upgrades and it is possible to theoretically have a $0 electricity bill. This is theoretical because there will be times of cloudy days that will require electricity from the electric company, but there will also be other days where electricity will be sold back to the electric company too. Thus creating the potential for an annual electric bill of $0. But this does depend on the current energy efficiency condition of the southern home in question. None the less, the

      Grape Solar 8,500-Watt Monocrystalline PV Grid-Tied Solar Power Kit GS-8500-KIT

      is powerfull enough to reduce the electricity consumption of an average 2400 square foot home by 30% to 50%. That's some big savings. As always make sure to check with your electric provider, Federal, State and/or local governments for any rebates or tax credits for making such an investment in the United States energy independance. If you decide to purchase this product, please post your opinion and help future consumers make informed decisions.

      The Grape Solar 8,000 Watt Monocrystalline Grid-Tied Solar Power Kit can generate between 8,700kWh and 17,500kWh of electricity per year. This works out to roughly one third to one half of the electrical power consumption of an average 2,400 square foot home. Unlike other power generators, there are no mechanical moving components; therefore, maintenance is virtually non-existent. The kit consists of high efficiency Grape Solar 250W Monocrystalline panels, 2 Kaco String Inverters and 2 combiner boxes.
