Wow! Wind turbine! So much better than solar IMO! The sun isnt always out where I live but it sure as heck is windy all the time! Thank you so much for these mixed ideas you gave me!

Honestly, if the wind turbine wasn't donated, it would have been a near complete loss. It generates less energy than I do daily on the exercise bike. Additionally, I have been hearing complaints from my HOA, and may be forced to halt it's operation at the next quarterly meeting while we further discuss it. Unless you are on a large property where you can get a massive turbine very high in the air, or are using it to charge batteries, I wouldn't suggest anyone go the wind turbine route.

For this project, if I am forced to halt operation of the wind turbine and want to keep it somewhat wind powered, I may decide to go with something I can hide a little easier, like this: https://www.amazon.com/My-SolarMill-Hybrid-Commercial-Renewable/dp/B013F6FQ9U

Since you've been involved in green mining for years.. any recommendations on the solar route? Any newer wind turbine designs catch your eye that are worth it to any degree? I'm assuming you dont have water access so no hydro?
