> Enter Your Potential Wind Speed and Format: mph    m/s

To help you estimate what size wind turbine will work best for you, you first must have an idea of how much power your home uses during a typical year.

It is necessary for you to get your electrical utility bills so that you can get your last years values of total KWH (kilowatt hours) used, or possibly review your most recent billing statement which may provide your monthly average which you can simply multiply by 12 to get the yearly use rate.

> I use KWH per year.

It will also be helpful to know what you are paying your current utility company for each kwh. To do this as accurately as possible and to factor in their varying time of day rates, volume rates, taxes and fees, it's best to simply take a current bill and divide the total amount due by the amount of kwh's used. This will provide you with the true amount you pay per kwh.

> I pay an average of $0. per KWH.

When you complete Step #4 below and submit this form, we will calculate your turbine needs by comparing your required electrical power requirements against three of the most popular wind turbines. We use the turbine types and sizes listed below to provide you with close estimates of your overall costs and payback periods.

If you want our wind power calculation to include a wind turbine that we do not have listed below, check where it says "Other Turbine" and provide your wind turbine information in the boxes provided.

Once you have completed looking over the turbine types listed below, scroll down to Step 4 and submit this form.
