I noticed a wind turbine in B&Q, and it is nothing more than a
motor, on a pole with a propellor and some box of electronics.

How are these valued at over £1500 when it seems it can be made for
a fraction of that? How much would the parts be?

The value is what people are prepared to pay. It has no connection
with the cost of the parts.

It's also the cost of R&D. Try making your own - go on!
