Wind Power for Residential Installations Is a Reality - North Texas

Axium Solar provides options that allow North Texas homeowners the ability to utilize wind power in their residential neighborhoods.

For homeowners, electricity costs can be extraordinarily high during certain times of year.  In addition, the charges for electricity continue to increase, due to economic supply/demand, the rising cost of fuel and annual inflation.  Wind power for residential use can provide homeowners with the savings they require to reduce their electrical bills.

What is wind power generation? 

How is does it supply the home with electricity? How much can the average homeowner expect to save over the course of a year?  How much space do these installations take up in the yard? Below you will find the answers to these questions and others.

Wind power for residential use requires the installation of a wind power generator, a turbine designed to harness the power of the wind and transform that into an electric charge.  The electric charge is changed from direct current in to alternating current via an inverter. Alternating current is the form of electricity that is  usable in our homes. The turbines vary greatly in size depending on the amount of electricity in which they can output.  Axium Solar provides a turbine that is the first of its kind; it incorporates the inverter and all other required equipment into a single unit.

Installing a wind turbine to provide wind power for residential use will require a tower, or pole. These are designed to raise the turbine above the level of any surrounding obstructions, as well as place the turbine at the optimum level to harness the winds in the area. Typically, a wind turbine must be at least 20 feet higher than any surrounding obstruction within 200 feet in order to operate to its maximum capacity. Different geographic areas have different wind patterns; thus, the height of the pole or tower will vary with each installation. Heights between 30 and 60 feet are typical for installations in the North Texas area.

Grid tied, wind power for residential use use is not designed to be a standalone solution for electricity. While these systems are capable of delivering between 15 - 30% of an average home's energy needs, they typically need to be paired with an additional renewable solution.  For instance, they work well when used in tandem with the power grid, or when paired with a PV array (photovoltaic, or solar array). In this way, wind power generators are capable of supplying the required amount of energy to enhance energy savings.

In addition, wind power for residential use is an ideal option for homeowners seeking to reduce their impact on the environment.  By reducing the amount of electricity used from the power company, an incredible amount of carbon is kept out of the atmosphere.  This ensures that the environment is protected, while still allowing the homeowner to enjoy all the electricity required for their usage.

Axium Solar provides the most innovative, advanced wind power generators for home use.  These turbines require minimal wind speed, minimal RPM, and provide the most power output.
