Wind Tower is designed to address many of the drawbacks of conventional propeller systems. Called the Windspire, it combines low cost and aesthetically pleasing design with ultra-quiet operation and rugged construction to produce approximately 2000 kilowatt-hours per year in 12 mile per hour average winds. 
At only 30 feet in height, the vertical-axis turbine falls within typical residential and urban zoning restrictions. It operates at a low tip speed ratio of 2 to 3 times wind speed, making it very quiet. It’s durable enough to withstand winds of up to 100 miles per hour, and can be installed in a matter of hours. Best of all, the cost (complete with generator, inverter, monopole and wireless performance monitor) is only about $5,000.
Would you consider a Wind Tower in your backyard? Do you feel that the initial investment of $5,000.00 will be worth your utility savings each month?

If this wind machine generates 2000kwh, that’s about $150 to $300 per year return on a $5000 investment. It’s a terrible investment. Tax credits cannot make this pay off.
