  • Multiple small wInd tubines in ongrid home setup.

    Jump

  • Thanks a lot for the input. I live in NL (so pretty flat) and also have quite some open spaces around the house. This does provide quite some winds (usually north and south) so this is why i tought about it in the first place. As mentioned below, I plan to setup two weather stations in two potential places. I want to monitor it for the duration of the year to have good insight into what winds am I dealing with.

    I was just wondering if such idea, of putting like 5-8 smaller wind turbines connected to inverter/microinverter and then to the grid (so autoconsuming or pushing to the grid when not enough consumption). I was wondering if this is something people do as I did not see much when searching the web. Most people use it to charge batteries.

  • I know a neighbour two houses away is also looking into wind generation. I do like the idea of being self-sustainable and free to experiment. But yeah it is an option if other solutions won't work.

  • I plan to setup two wind sensors (weather machines) this year to have a better oveview of what is the wind situation throughout the year. One on the roof of the house and the other in place of future workshop.

  • I'm aware of the issues (requirenments) with wind turbines. I havent done much research yet but already saw some that are rather quiet, so this is why I was looking into this (sure need to check exactly and compare real life the noise polution). Looking at some yt videos i see that some of the turbines could produce a fair amount of energy. Where I live I have more wind then solar. And as far as solar goes. In the season, my roof produces so much energy I dont have enough to spend it on. However in winter this gets really bad. for example today my solar production was 1.3kWh while usage 25kWh (thats with temp +4C outside). So even if I would invest and put another 5kWp (or even 10) I would produce nothing near my needs. In most sunny day in january my roof production was 10kWh while usage (it was much colder then the day posted above it was -7C) 54kWh. So Expanding the roof array, does not solve the problem as I would never meet the usage of winter and totally overproduce in summer. Batteries sure help with auto-consumption in summer, but this is not longterm storage solution so you can not use the energy produced in summer in winter. Currently legislation here allows me to compensate my usage 100%, so my balance is good as what I produce in summer I consume from the grid in winter, but in next 5-10 years the procentage will be changing as the gov. wants to encourage autoconsumption. To the point where your overproduction in summer will not match the consumption in winter. The problem is there is nothing to consume in winter from solar.
