Did you know that the UK home turbines could be taking
advantage of the 40% of wind energy that’s available in the whole of Europe?
Now you do! Using home turbines could help to save more money and generate
electricity from a renewable energy source, which the UK has a lot of.
There are many additional benefits to wind power on top of doing
your little bit for the environment. Below we have listed a number of
advantages for you to consider:
-
It provides a free energy source, with plenty
throughout the UK to go around.
-
You will reduce your Carbon Footprint, as this
type of renewable energy will not release any harmful carbon dioxide.
-
High electricity bills will be a thing of the
pass, as once you have installed your turbine the electricity that comes from
it is completely free!
-
Store generated electricity in batteries in preparation
for a day when there is no wind.
-
Make additional income by selling the
electricity you do not use to the National Grid to help others.
There are a great number of positive attributes regarding turbines,
but getting one for your home may appear absurd to some. The two most
frequently used methods used to harness renewable energy today are solar panels
and wind turbines. Wind farms appear in coastal and other open spaces where
there isn’t an abundance of trees or buildings to absorb the wind, before it
hits the turbine.
Let’s rewind and explain what a wind turbine is. A wind
turbine is effectively a windmill-style device that converts the kinetic energy
that comes from the wind, into usable mechanical energy. You may hear or read
them being described as ‘wind chargers’ or ‘wind generators’. They have developed greatly over the years,
but the ones you see today can also be seen with both horizontal and vertical
axis.
Some new built housing estates now come complete with a wind
farm in order to provide every home on the estate with a renewable energy
source. Some houses will continue to vary to another and will also include
other energy sources such as solar panels.
Although a great energy source and cost-effective solution
to generating electricity for your home, many will argue the point they are not
an attractive device to have in view of your home. Pretty or not however, wind
turbines are doing a vital job and should not be opposed by anyone with a
conscience.
