It all depends on the total cost of the system, the average daily wind at your location and the size or generation capacity of your turbine. Most of the payoffs are under 10 years and with some of the grants and tax incentives available and we have seen payoffs in under 5 years! - AKWI Wind Geek

How do I know if I have enough wind for a turbine?

With the smaller residential and business units, 12MPH daily average is sufficient to run your wind turbine. An AKWI assessor will be able to assess your property and make sure you have sufficient wind at your site. - AKWI Wind Geek
