A number of years ago I looked into installing a turbine on my property. There were 3 neighbors that had turbines. I was looking at a 4-5kw system that was going to cost about $15,000 plus wiring. This was a lot of money. The wiring was also going to be very expensive as I would have had to run about 600m of low loss cable at a very high cost. The entire project would have ended up costing over $40,000 so I did not proceed.
Interestingly my 3 neighbors similar size turbines have all failed and were too expensive to repair so are no longer functional. Only 1 is still standing and it doesn't turn.
My take on this was that the expense isn't worth the trouble yet.
