    For residential wind people should have a better chance if they go with one of the companies with a track record such as:

    1) Jacobs
    2) Bergy
    3) Scirocco
    4) ARE

    The older companies products are generally more expensive but for a reason.

    If there is not a tower to get to 80 to 100 feet or more there is generally not much of a chance either. Even then local obstructions or geography can cause poor performance.

    A wise person would put an anemometer on top of a pole at the proposed elevation of the turbine and see what happens for a year. Not many places have adequate wind to begin with.
