And this supposed power company "buyback" of your excess generated energy. (Insert elves and smurfs frolicking, with fife and flutes playing in the background).
I thought about getting a windmill some years ago to supplement our electric bill. The cost of the windmill was $20,000 with $500 annual maintenance bill. So didn't see an advantage in doing it. We have bought solar panela that are placed at the electric co-op. That has benefited it.
