Make the most of wind power with domestic turbines

There is nothing revolutionary about wind power! 4000 years ago the ancient Egyptians used wind power to irrigate their crops, Columbus used wind power to sail the globe, wind mills have been used for centuries to grind corn and Mary Poppins flew a kite!

First used to generate electricity in North America in the 19th century, wind turbines generate extreme opinions- people tend to either love them, or hate them. For some they are seen as a blot on the landscape (one might suggest these people probably do not live near a coal fired power station), for many they are a thing of beauty and grace and a symbol of hope for a sustainable future where technology and nature co-exist harmoniously.

Whilst wind turbines have their issues and limitations, there is no doubting the fact that they are a proven way of

generating electricity from a bountiful, renewable fuel source that will always be free, has no harmful emissions and is highly unlikely to ever cause a war.

Capture offer a range of wind turbines suitable for producing electricity in domestic and commercial applications. Generally our wind turbine systems are grid connected, enabling you to sell excess electricity and use the grid for back-up where necessary.

With the value of energy only set to rise and government support for small scale renewable generation wind turbines can be an extremely good investment and people are increasingly seeing them as part of their retirement plans.
