For anyone who is at all considering making use of the current federal wind electricity tax credits as a possible incentive to get going with wind turbine kits, this is the time. We all know we have the tax credit through the end of 2016, but the government's necessity for tax money now, whether it is going to be ongoing is anybody's guess.

There are 3 things which you should do to correctly get a wind device constructed from a kit ready to go:

1. The primary thing which should be done is usually to make sure you have enough wind at your house to make this a feasible project. Plenty of people begin imagining they have got sufficient wind simply because they look outside the house and see the trees swaying. Well, that's not an adequate indicator. You have to utilise the services of a little device known as an anemometer to collect information and make sure you've got at least 9 miles per hour average wind speed. That will permit you to truly get a grip on whether or not a wind mill will work for you.

2. Then, you need to pick several potential locations for installing your wind turbine kits and make sure there are no legal or permitting reasons you can't locate your device there. Many times local communities restrict where and what type of wind turbine you can install - even on your own property.

Sometimes, neighborhoods will weigh-in on this issue too. So, before you get too far down the road, make sure you can put up the wind device you think you want, where you want to install it. This step done properly may end up narrowing your wind turbine kits search considerably in certain areas of the country.

3. The third thing is to assess whether you personally will follow through - that is, will you likely build and install the wind turbine once you have bought it. Even though you've paid a lot of money and the wind device is in "kit" form, there is still a good bit to do, in terms of installation and final hook up. You have certainly cut down a lot on the price of your system by going the kit route, but it still requires some time and effort to get it done and producing energy.

Therefore, it is good to think through honestly whether you have the time and desire to see through such a project to the end - otherwise, it might be prudent to get someone else (like a dealer) to do the assembly and installation for you.

In conclusion, this is the perfect time to make wind turbine kits work for you. With the wind energy tax credits available, there has never been a better time to take advantage of a super-low cost. You just need to make sure you take care of some basic foundational work first, so you can actually accomplish what you intend to accomplish with your wind energy device.
