Junkk.com promotes fun, reward-based e-practices, sharing oodles of info in objective, balanced ways. But we do have personal opinions, too! Hence this slightly ‘off of site, top of mind' blog by Junkk Male Peter. Hopefully still more ‘concerned mates’ than 'do this... or else' nannies, with critiques seen as constructive or of a more eyebrow-twitching ‘Oh, really?!' variety. Little that’s green can be viewed only in black and white.
No surprises in either article. It looks as if the truth is actually starting to come out. Micro scale wind turbines are inefficient, not cost effective and don't perform even to the level that the manufacturers state. And its unlikely that that will ever change.
Regarding PV arrays, yes, they are still expensive, but they are now starting to come down in price and will, eventually, be a definite worth having. The question is, just how many years will it be before they can provide a decent ROI.
As regards exporting power to the grid and getting paid for it - forget it. No-one will ever make money doing that.
