  11. Do you know what the average wind speed is in the area where you want to install the wind turbine ? Global Wind AtlasThe Global Wind Atlas is a free, web-based application developed to help policymakers, planners, and investors identify high-wind areas for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world, and tThis resource will give you a good Idea of the average wind speed also to convert from MS to KPH simply multiply MS X 3.6 =KPH the resolution is quite low but will give an idea if its worth it Estimated cost installed for a decent 2KW turbine could easily cost up to about R130K all in.
  12. Hello you can buy the US3000D from us Solar Deity does not sell directly to Public you can send a mail to [email protected] and I can quote you directly
  13. I cover VAWT in this thread https://powerforum.co.za/topic/32376-principles-of-wind-power-and-understanding-wind-power-myths-and-reality/ To give you some context on VAWT a unit that would actually delivery 3KW per hour in a 12 MS wind is around 3 Meter tall by 3 Meter in diameter 12MS is 43.2 KPH directional wind without turbulence in a perfect scenario. The HOA is always a challenge problem with normal brick buildings are that they are not designed to handle heavy horizontal loads so you have risks of walls cracking you could use a monopole and make it appear to use the house as support however in reality that would be risky to actually use the house as support. Typically in a scenario like yours I would recommend more solar panels and a larger battery bank wind power production is erratic and only financially feasible in areas where the turbine can be installed under ideal conditions and in the Ideal location.
  14. Hello @BarendD you can look at a freestanding tilt or scissor tower a decent 2 KW turbine has a 4 Meter Blade diameter and produces a lot of horizontal force when its running at capacity unless your house is a concrete house with a concrete roof then I would not recommend installing on a house roof maintenance and servicing will also be a challenge you will need to get to the generator to service it on a regular basis you are welcome to send me an email [email protected] and I can quote you on a solution also integration will depend on the type of inverter system you have.
