Choosing a Home-sized Wind Generator

So, maybe you're intrigued with the idea of a home-sized wind generator. Although it's probably a larger home-improvement project than many of us would want to tackle, if you have the inclination (and space), here's some more information. Wisonsin's Focus on Energy website has a nice 17 page guide, "Choosing a Home-sized Wind Generator." Although it's a few years old it should serve as a good primer on the subject, covering background, sizing constraints, rated outputs, manufacturers and models, etc.

The Home Power Magazine website has a more recent guide that I think illustrates and explains the concepts a bit better.
