Before you consider wind get yourself a recording wind meter (anemometer). Most areas aren't that good for wind power. Something like the one you're looking at will produce the 500w (or whatever) in a gale and next to nothing where you are.

Know how much wind you have over an entire year before spending a ton of $.

From everything I have read people are very disappointed with the small wind generators. They seem to always underperform and don't hold a candle to solar.

Thanks for the input Guy's. I know that there are several large Companies fighting to get Wind Farms set up here in the valley as we do have quite a bit of wind here.. Think I will take your advice perfesser order a anemometer from Efton Science and check it out myself. Am trying to put together a "master plan", if you will, for power production and was thinking that a combination of Solar, Wind and (now just added ) Thermal off my wood stove ( mentioned in the link ICRCC posted..Thank You) I might be able to keep a bank of batteries topped up at all times. The only heavy power I would need is to pump water from our 228 foot deep well. For that issue I could use a Generator, once or twice a day, to pump up the 40 gallon pressure tank.
Will Keep working on it.. Thanks once again.

Don't discount your car as a source of power. It can charge batteries and if you installed a good sized inverter in the car you could run your fridge and freezer for a few hours to get the temps back down. Then they could sit for 2-3 days covered with sleeping bags and blankets before you run em again. While it's running you can at the same time charge a few deep cycle batteries up for some lights, charge your phone, laptop and all that.
It's really about how much you use. It's time to think about propane fridges and stoves that don't use a ton of power. A tiny pump to move hot water to radiators or in-floor rather than a 1/2 hp blower on your forced air furnace - stuff like that.
Once you do that you can use solar or wind.

I would only consider a VAWT system.

Perfesser:- I was banking on both the car and truck for a( short term) power supply and through my Business I have access to Power Invertors up to 5000 watts.... I usually keep 1500 and 2000 watt invertors in stock so I am set there. 😀 Any extended loss of Hydro Electric Power however will use up that fuel supply reasonably quickly. I find even storing large quantities of Gasoline for the generator ( which I was planning to be my main power supply for pumping water) an "iffy" subject as our gasoline today has to much Ethanol added. The ethanol tends to absorb moisture and the Galoline itself goes "sour" very quickly. I have had a lot of issues with that.. especially with the carbourator in the ATV. We only use the ATV during the hunt so the carb gets gummed up just sitting . When it gats bad enough, and I have to drain the tank and clean the carb, you should see what comes out of that gas tank after sitting for a while. It old gas almost looks like "pond scum". 😮 Even adding a Fuel Stabalizer dosn't extend the shelf life very long...... but I digress, using the vehicles as a power supply is a great idea.

Gravlore:- VAWT System looks interesting.. and some seem to take up less room. Will do some more research on that as well... Thank you

I am also a VAWT fan for several reasons but efficiency is not one of them. 🙂 When looking for a HAWT try to keep your tip speed ratio at 6to1 or less unless you want to be hated by your neighbors any time the wind is up. Most of the smaller HAWT units are junk. Just a warning...
