== Small Wind Electric Systems ==
Small wind electric systems are one of the most cost-effective, home-based renewable energy systems. These systems are also nonpolluting.
If a small wind electric system is right for you, it can do the following:
* Lower your electricity bills by 50–90%
* Help you avoid the high costs of having utility power lines extended to a remote location
* Help uninterruptible power supplies ride through extended utility outages.
Small wind electric systems can also be used for a variety of other applications, including water pumping on farms and ranches.
* '''How a Small Wind Electric System Works''' Learn the basics of how a small wind system produces electricity.
* '''Evaluating a Potential Small Wind Turbine Site''' Start here to determine whether a small wind energy system would be feasible, practical, and economical for you.
* '''Small Wind Electric System Components''' Learn more about system components—turbines, towers, and balance-of-system parts.
* '''Installing and Maintaining a Small Electric Wind System''' Find out what you need to consider before you install a system, including basic maintenance tips.
