Affordable Wind Turbine

I am keen to use alternative energy generation with our new house as much as possible. Currently we are planning the main energy source to be solar panels installed on the roof of the shed and house.

I have recently look at what is available and have found what looks like quite a good deal on Jaycar Electronics' website where you can find a wind turbine and generator producing up to 200 Watt at a very reasonable price of currently \$499.

Granted this is a kit that needs to be assembled but considering it produces up to 200 Watts at half the cost of a solar panel that produces about 100 Watts, it is something I believe is worthwhile trying.

I can't wait until our house is advanced enough that we can look into setting up one of these wind turbines.
