However, I have to point out that a wind turbine naturally produces AC power. In order to sell it to a power company through the grid, you would have to synchronize it with the grid standards through the voltage frequency (60Hz), magnitude (120V line-neutral/single-phase), and phase (positive sequence if 3-phase). One way to accomplish this could be to rectify the AC coming from the turbine into DC and then use an inverter to get it up to grid specifications.

The downside is that you’d only be providing power to the grid when the wind is blowing. But I guess that doesn’t really matter if all you’re wanting to do is set it up, forget about it, and let it turn your meter backwards.

Of course, there are different ways of selling it to your utility depending on where you live. The process of selling back to the grid/utility is called ‘net metering’ and more information about the various regulations can be found here:

(It even includes a little map about utilities buying from wind power)

You will also need permission from town, county, and state governments to setup a wind turbine.

You will need a large wind turbine, and the proper electronics, which the power company will supply and install, or will recommend.

You will be able to sell power to the company when the wind is blowing, and buy it from them when it is not.
