Hurricane Wind Power LLC of Virginia today released a study indicating 67 percent of home wind generator system buyers indicated when polled that they have little or no experience with wind power. Of those 32 percent had purchased wind products that they felt had been misrepresented in the past. The respondents stated the the output, what the product would "do" for them, IE what it would run. technical specifications, and the product simply not working were listed among some of the reasons they felt they were dissatisfied with prior purchases. The conclusion being it is imperative to find a reputable vendor and do your research before buying. Seems many are getting sucked in by the fad of going green and leaving caution and common sense to the wind.
The most common issue I see as the owner of a wind power company is not defining clear goals before purchasing a wind turbine kit. With the love our society has for electronics these days we must consider how much power is used when selecting a product. I use around 2000 KW hours per month. Many others use more power than that. With some simple math you can soon deduct that the 500 watt wind generator will not make you self sufficient. Many business are leaving buyers with high hopes with systems that would really only output enough power for a hunting cabin.
The findings of this study has led Hurricane Wind Power to to develop a new line of
wind generators /wind turbines , 1kw and 2 kw. These turbines realistically put out those figures in as low as 20 mph winds. This line will be budget friendly and nice looking for the customer concerned with how the neighborhood will feel about their new project. Most importantly it will provide the power that buyers are looking for at a price that buyers are used to see being quote 2-3 times higher in price. Our research also concluded that among factor most important to potential buyer are price, output, noise level, aesthetics, and quality. All of these issues were address in the latest additions to the line of high power wind products at http://Hurricanewindpower.com .
