Wind turbines convert wind energy into electricity. Installation costs vary widely. Microturbines start at around $100, while larger turbines for whole-house power can cost $50,000 to $80,000. Wind turbines provide renewable energy and may save money over time. Choosing the right location is crucial for wind turbine installation. Look for areas with consistent wind patterns and minimal obstructions (such as tall buildings or trees) that could disrupt airflow.
