Advantages of Vertical Turbines
Vertical turbines are a sleek and elegant alternative to traditional horizontal wind turbines. They are designed to be effective and unobtrusive. Unlike their horizontal counterparts, vertical wind turbines can be used in nearly any environment: public places, downtown, on your home, or wherever they may be needed.
The curve of the blades exposes maximum surface area and allows for greater energy output. Due to the design of the blades they work when the wind blows from any direction and require less wind to create power.
This allows vertical turbines to be installed at lower heights than horizontal turbines, which in turn makes them safer and less expensive to install.
Vertical turbines are easy to install and maintain. They require very little technical ability and once they are installed they are virtually maintenance free. Day or night, rain or shine, they will move with the natural wind currents and create free, clean energy. Not only do you help the environment but you also save money by lowering your energy costs and reducing your dependency on energy companies.

I have a few questions – How much, where to buy and are they noisy?
Hey Andrew, it’s difficult to answer how much and where to buy because it depends on your location. I’d recommend that you do some research and determine what possible rebates and incentives you may be eligible for as well as what turbine manufacturers and installers are in your area.
