Yes, You Can Start Off Grid Living

Generating all your power by renewable means and living in harmony with the planet is a dream for many, not least because you can save yourself a small fortune.

However, what people want to know is whether living off grid is really realistic and whether they will be able to set it up on their own and keep it running and how much it will cost.

If you go back a few years getting off the grid would have been a very difficult thing to do. The only real way for someone who was not a ‘techie’ to do it was to buy very expensive equipment that would rule out most ordinary people on start up costs alone.

Not anymore. Today there are experts that are producing DIY guides for average people specifically so they can start off grid living. They can take someone through from nothing to the full and successful installation of their first project.

The stuff you need to get the projects up and running is generally easy to find. A good deal is normally found lying around the house and anything else can be bought from shops around the area with the total cost not exceeding two hundred dollars.

Although, despite the relative ease I have described so far, you need to keep your wits about you and make sure you get the best guides around to help you. One that gives the proper quality of instruction and back up support should you get stuck.

Although, I don’t want to alarm anyone, recently there has been a lot of exposure on off grid living and many people have tried to cash in that don’t have the right skill sets or experience to be doing so. It’s spoiling what should be a beautiful thing.

So there you go, what you have to do now is get started with off the gird ASAP.

Using Tax Credits To Minimize Your Small Wind Turbine Cost

Recently the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, H.R. 1424, was passed by Congress that includes a new federal investment tax credit to assist the public in offsetting the wind turbine cost for their homes, businesses or farms. Without any delay, president Bush signed the bill into law.

Now we are able to claim up to 30% of our small wind power system cost (must have no more than a 100 kW capacity), against our tax return, but limited to four thousand dollars. The only drawback is that the act has no effect for small wind turbines erected before 3 October 2008. And the credit for home wind turbines is restricted further to the lower of $1,000 per kilowatt and $4,000.

America, who has typically lead the worldwide small wind turbine market recently begun to feel pressure from other nations that offered enticing incentives for small renewable energy systems. So the new legislation was warmly welcomed by a Small Wind Advocate of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), Ron Stimmel, who said:

“Congress should be thanked for realizing and supporting the small wind turbine industry as a vital player in our energy security and greener environment. These tax incentives will encourage households to reduce their power costs, and fight global warming in a real way.”

This is the first federal tax credit for small wind power systems since 1985, and experts predict the legislation could expand the American wind energy industry by 40 percent or greater each year. And together with the soon-to-be finalized equipment certification system, this will aid in securing the U.S. as the leading market worldwide.

To put the industry on equal grounds with the photovoltaic (PV) solar industry, the AWEA, and its members have long requested a 30% federal investment incentive for small wind turbines 100kW and smaller. And now their persistence has paid off.

Since the two industries share the same renewable energy market, the wide legislation also expands on a similar credit for the PV solar industry that was first enacted in 2005. Domestic PV solar systems now receive a 30% credit, limited to $4,000, and commercial installations can get the same, but uncapped, credit.

How does the new legislation influence privately made small wind turbines? It looks like do-it-yourself wind power systems can receive some tax incentives, as long as it can be shown when and how much costs were. Just remember, to get professional legal advice to help you enjoy the best tax credit due.

With the new tax credit, coupled with potential state-side credits, we cannot see a better time for anyone to invest in their own renewable energy system at home and offset the wind turbine cost. Whether this means getting an expensive professionally installed solar/wind power hybrid, or learning to do it yourself, potential electricity savings are a decision away. At the end of the day the choice is yours.

DIY Turbine Building – Things To Know

If there is one issue that is on everybody’s mind today, it’s that energy prices on the rise. Local electricity companies are jacking up the prices due to rising demand. Residential homes are even beginning to feel the crunch. Luckily, there are now ways to produce your own energy that can alleviate the stress.

One way that you can save money on your electricity costs is to build your own wind turbine. Wind power is an endlessly renewable, free source of energy – all that is needed is to take advantage of it. When building your own wind turbine, there are a few things you should think about ahead of time.

You’ll want to know where your wind turbine is going to go. You have to look for a place where there will be the maximum amount of wind energy, of course. It is ideal if you have at least an acre of land, and your wind turbine tower is higher than anything else in the area.

There can’t be any obstructions like trees or other towers that will obstruct the flow of wind to your turbine. Remember, even your turbine is in front of them in the direction of the wind, the wind speed will still be reduced due to the fact that they’re there. Take a careful look before you start building to make sure you have a good place to put it.

Looking for local regulations on wind turbines in your area is also important. Get all the required permits, and you’ll save a lot of money in the long run. It’s not that hard, really. Make sure it’s alright with your neighbors as well.

Of course before you actually start to build a wind turbine, you’ll want to make sure that you gather together all of your supplies and tools. Figure out what you’ll need for the job. Then go make the purchase so that you have everything needed on hand.

Look for detailed plans or blueprints which will help you build your turbine, and make sure you follow them exactly. They are specifically engineered to get the most energy out of the wind. You can find great detailed manuals in many books and online.

Building a wind turbine is really not a huge job, as long as you keep these considerations in mind. Make sure that you find the right site, check on government regulations, get together the tools and supplies, and then simply follow the plans. In no time you’ll be saving money on energy.
