Each also has it’s individual pro’s and con’s, price points, energy production and savings. Plus, what will work for one location may not work in another, even if the installations are next door to each other. However, without going into too great a detail, here are the general product choices: Wind Power; either a vertical wind turbine (VAWT) or horizontal wind turbine (HAWT) mounted on a pole, tower, building, or other structure.
