Isi artikel

It takes a 50-story crane and a task force of people to erect a wind turbine able to generate megawatts of power. The story is different for a turbine going up in someone’s backyard, however. Put down a concrete pad and some anchor points, bring in a three-person crew, and you can be up and running with a 10-kW turbine atop an 80-ft tower in a day or two. Time was when turbines putting out power measured in kilowatts were strictly the domain of hobbyists who cobbled them together using old alternators, hand-made props, and discarded pieces-parts. But thanks to tax incentives that make backyard wind more economical, most small wind turbines going into service today are professionally built and installed.
