The Energy Saving Trust has recently completed the most comprehensive field trial of domestic scale wind turbines to date. The aim of the trials was to provide UK home owners with an indication of whether they would be able to generate electricity from the wind at their home. The data from these trials has been used as the basis for the Domestic Wind Speed Prediction tool.
How do I use the tool?
To find out whether your home may be suitable for a domestic scale wind turbine please enter your postcode, indicate whether your property is an urban, suburban or rural area and click 'calculate wind speed'. We will predict your wind speed and advise on whether a turbine may be suitable for your home.
Have you looked at all your home energy generation options?
If you have not already done so why not use our Home Energy Generation Selector to help you identify the technologies that might be suitable to generate heat or electricity for your home.
