This is a small list of “think-about” things when you are starting your first wind energy project. It’s a random list and more of an idea list than a step by step that you find in your instructions material.

• Check that you have the right tools.
• Be sure to have enough workspace.
• Do you have the right material
• Have you checked the wind maps where you live?
• Do you need any permission for your construction?
• Do you know anyone to partner up with? It’s more fun when you can build in a team or at least discuss the project with someone else interested (maybe not your spouse).
• Could I build several of these wind turbines and start selling them for an additional income?
• Be sure to know how much you are going to save on your energy bills with this project. This is a great help if you get stuck and think it’s difficult. You build it once and then you save money for years to come.

Building a homemade wind turbine is both fun and rewarding.
