Small turbines with rotors less than 1m in dia generate no more than a
few hundred watts OK for battery charging on a boat when the boat isn't
in use but for a house not worth it. To put this in perspective, a 500W
or so wind turbine couldn't keep a large battery bank charged in the
long term to power 3 Cisco wireless bridges, a router and switch. And
this was on top of a hill with good exposure to strong winds...

What did you do instead?
