- Wind turbines may not be the most practical or cost-effective option for generating power at a residential home. Firstly, a wind turbine typically requires a consistent and strong wind, which may not be present in all areas, especially in urban environments. Additionally, wind turbines can be visually intrusive and may not be suitable for certain neighborhoods or HOA. They also require a large amount of space for installation and maintenance, which may not be available on most residential properties. Also, the cost of purchasing and installing a wind turbine at a residential home can be quite high, and may not provide a sufficient return on investment. There may be other options like solar panels, energy efficient appliances and energy storage that can be more cost-effective and practical for residential use.

Thank you, i was about to buy it and mind you i live in Jhb, you have saved me a lot of money and headaches
Thank you very you save time not think about vertical turbine.
Have ever tried horizontal turbine by ad on some paint to keep the birds away!
Thank you for video, we all learn from it. it seems very suitable for Port Elizabeth/Gqeberha which is very windy there, even if it's fully cloudy or night.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi . Nice wind turbine ! ;)

Thank you for sharing Sir
Greetings from Sweden
thank you. very informative
Thanks for this
Thank you for the information. As with solar panels, there are more efficient ways to build wind turbines (not all are good). In my view the strength MAY be that when there is less sun (cloudy and windy) you can get more power from wind than solar, and by using both, one can benefit from consistency7 better than from peak production. But this all is affected by where one lives.
I bought a 600 watts horizontal wind turbine. I'm putting the pole up tomorrow. I live in Oklahoma. It is much windier here. I see yours isn't catching any air. Probably need to get it up off that roof about ten feet. I have twelve hundred watts of solar panels, and twenty big marine batteries. It is cloudy here sometimes, and that's usually when the wind blows. Your little roof ornamental windmill looks nice. I can see there's not enough wind. Well there's not enough blade surface either. Mine has a five foot circle that the blades make. I held it up in the wind just for a few seconds, and it really gets going fast, so I had to turn it sideways. It wasn't anything like yours, when I get it up 19 feet it's going to be spinning really fast. I'm welding the flange to the pipe today. I may get it put up tomorrow. I expect it will make 350-450 watts when it's windy. It will be seven feet above the barn roof. I think yours needs to be a little higher to get into a steady wind. It's stopping, then it gets a little bit. My solar system isn't making much today, but it's pretty windy out there. Maybe you can sell the wind generator and get a few more panels.
Hi David. thank you for the reply. The turbine was more an experiment that anything. My solar and Li-ion batteries supply more that I need.
How is you turbine doing. Please send me an update if you can.
Oh, okay. I have mine up and it's actually making some power. I ordered two more 100 watts panels, myself. That brings me to 1400 watts of them. Today I had too much and used electric heat for a dump load.
P.S. I made a short video on my channel of it spinning.
I live in a hill in wales .it’s a no brainier.it’s July my trees are bent double and it’s raining for 15 hours now
Are you happy that Tesup have a video of your installation on their official channel ? Are you happy to be associated with them ?
hi Riaan - where are you getting your panels/batteries from? I'm looking for some, but there are just too many scammers online in ZA these days.
Wind is a good addition to solar, but, I wouldn't try to go wind only. No matter what you do, you need the battery! I recommend enough battery capacity to meet your electrical demand requirement for 24 hours, with no generated energy. I say that, because during sun or wind, the turbine/panels will supply demand, as well as charge the battery. That limits the discharge of the battery to ~50%, which is optimum, for the lowest possible levelized cost of energy storage. Whether Lithium or Lead Acid.
If you are located in PTA…there is no wind
Have you more thoughts now we're in winter? I'm considering it near Cape Town to offset the cloudy winter days where we don't generate anything.
Hi Matt. You can never have to mush energy. What you generate can always be put to good use. While having a wind turbine would be beneficial, the cost of purchasing and operating it is not worth it in my case. the new Tessup 7 is R33000 and then you still need to step up the voltage to work with the inverter. I can buy another 5KV of batteries for that price, and it is all plug-and-play. You might find it worthwhile if your system works differently. Alternative energy can be approached in so many ways.
Other size off blades .. will help ..
I understand. But please do not compare it with sun energy. You forgot that it turns all night long also. And it turns in winter, when your sun panels do NOTHING. Sun and wind do complement each other very well
my solar panels work fine in the winter
In Finland we need electricity in the winter, when there's little to no sun, what about then?
Use electricitry from the power grid. Electricity from wind turbines is 5- 20 times more expensive!
Put it in the river. It will make power.
@@HoneyBerighthere-Saysarath the river! why did i not think of thaaaaat :D there's river right next to... well.... i gotta check where.
@@michaelvanallen6400
If you don't have mains electric?
Hi Riaan dankie vir die inligting. Net a vraag. Waar is jou turbine geïnstalleer en julle darem genoeg wind. Sal dit werk vir iemand wat by die kus bly met wind van die see af. Ek het alreeds 18 x 200w sonpanele met 48v 900amp battery en het net so bietjie krag nodig om deur die nag te kom. Mid somer loop ons 24/7 op battery krag en inverter. Dit raak net a probleem as die dae korter raak.
Hi Abraham. Ek bly in Jeffreys Bay, ja hier is baie wind. Dit gaan jou nog steeds beter uitwerk om n 2.7kw Li-ion battery te koop as wat jy a 2kw turbine moet opsit, en jy is verseker dat jy die krag het.
In ireland its worth it... The solar here isn't good
*All practical tests show that small wind turbines hardly generate any electricity! And only at very high costs!*
Because there is hardly any wind close to the ground. It is also extremely gusty, which usually reduces the service life very much.
Only if you need to be self-sufficient from the power grid, you should install the largest possible wind turbine on a high tower for the winter.
*With solar panels, on the other hand, you can reliably generate green electricity for 25 years at approx. 3-10 cent/kWh!*
You are hondred% right. I live in Ireland with a lot of wind with my Magnum5 wind turbine. But the after sale of Tesup is BULLSHIT.. I boughjt it for 1860 euro in JUNE and the contoller box is broken and the Growatt inverter is giving me PE abnormal errors. Tesuyp doesnt communicate with me anymore and I am stuck. PLEASE DONT BUY FROM TESUP>!!!!!!
I'm also from SA and i can't find anywhere were they sell wind turbines..where did you buy dat one?
The company is Tesup.co.za.
The Western Cape is rather windy.
Theres no sun at night! Extra batery will cost you the same as a wind generator. Why not combine the wind and sun for the complete solution?
But, wind blows at night too
Hi. Yes I agree. But for this turbine to make the required amount of power to run the house at night you need about 36km/hour and more constant wind. Now it is still cheaper to buy and integrate the lithium battery into your home IF YOU HAVE SOLAR

How much was the turbine cost you to buy it, cause I found them online for about £1000 for a 7kwh
DONT! My god I can't stand these fraudulent companies. 99% of micro turbine companies need to be taken to court for deceptive marketing. You're never going to find a true 7 kW (not kWh - two different things) turbine for $1000. It's just not possible. You won't even find a decent 3 kW turbine for that price unless you build your own axial flux, which is far superior to any cogging radial junk on the market today. Become familiar with the wind turbine power equation, and use it to test the claims that you see online. P = 0.5 Cp ρ π R2 V3, where Cp is the coefficient of performance (efficiency factor, in percent), ρ is air density (in kg/m3), R is the blade length (in meters) and V is the wind speed (in meters per second). If they're saying 7 kW, look at the rated wind speed first. Is that 7kW at the industry standard speed rating of 26 mph, or 7kW at hurricane speeds? Then look at the rotor size and punch in the numbers. If the blades are any less than 10.5ft long each (21ft rotor diameter), then they're full of poo. If they don't provide graphs or specs, that's a red flag. Look at the 7 kW Tesup (hawt), for example. No specs or information on the purchase page other than the power claim. Dig deeper into their google drive docs and you'll see that it only has a 7.7ft diameter rotor. I understand the avg person isn't going to pick up on it, but as a builder who's been working in the industry for over a decade, that stands out as a giant red flag to me. I know for a fact from experience alone that 7 kW from a 7.7ft diameter turbine (3.85ft long blades) is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve in normal wind environments. But all you need to verify that is the wind power equation. It's indisputable. This isn't a mystery science that the industry has yet to figure out. It's fool proof, and the best defense that consumers have against fraudulent companies like Tesup. The best that you can expect from a 7.7ft turbine at 26 mph is 4.8 kWp assuming a VERY generous peak efficiency of 40% in ideal conditions (ie temp, air density, tower height, etc). 99.9% of the time, the best turbines will avg 30% eff, so a more realistic output would be 3.6 kWp at 26 mph. Use this wind power equation to test claims and you'll find that most are fraudulent. If you want a turbine that you can count on and know exactly what to expect from it, then build an axial flux.
Omnicalculator has an online wind turbine power calculator if math isn't your strong suit.
Where are you located Riaan?
Hi. I am in Jeffreys bay South Africa
@@PPGRiaan thank you for the video. I'm in Cape Town and I think you are correct. Solar is cheaper than wind.
Its not high enough STUP1D !
And how much Electricity does those Solar Panels produce at NIGHT ?
Hey folks. Look at SD Wind Turbines. Specifically the SD3 wind turbine. It’s a legitimate product. I’m struggling to find a Tessup turbine that’s even remotely functional in real life environments.
tesup overpriced.its not to compete with solar production but rather to supplement on small setups.
Well this one where total bs.
but,...it works over night as well
in europe, we have not so many sunny days, but windy....
so for us...combination od both is the best...
I live in Norway not much sunlight at all in winter, the problem is when its really cold there's normally no wind either.
@@FitandFabinvestor there is wind,...and always will be
That looks like a piece of crap
Tesup sucks
So what you suggest different
Tesup is the last trash… don’t buy it guys…
We know that but what is other option for uk market. People complain but still buying tesup it’s mean no other alternative on the market
@@zbigniewknap4954 buy from skywind Germany.
Thanks...now I won't buy one
