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 Watts 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.

flattr this!
