Governor Jennifer Granholm has just inspired thousands to upgrade their homes with a home wind generator system and solar panel layout. The savings the system will provide is just what Americans are looking for in these unstable economic times.

Governor Going Green With Home Wind Generator - When the news hit the streets, "Going Green" advocates were as happy as a two peas in a pod. However, the really BIG news is the money the state will save by installing the wind generator power system. The Governor’s residence will see a rather large savings from the recently installed 30-foot-tall wind generator power turbine. The amount saved is estimated to be about twelve hundred dollars a year. That amounts to one-hundred dollars a month.

You have to put things into perspective; this state-owned home is in one of Lansing’s most upscale neighborhoods and is approximately eight thousand square feet. So for a home that size the savings wouldn’t seem like a lot, but if you place that same amount saved on the average size residence, its huge! Now you can see why more and more people are also upgrading to a home wind generator system.

It just makes sense with money you save. Plus, if you add solar panels as the governor did, the savings increase even more! In this case, solar panels will save an additional three hundred dollars per year in electricity. All told between the home wind generator system and the solar panels, this particular residence is cutting their electricity bill by about one hundred and twenty five dollars a month!

The first question most people ask is, "How much is this system going to cost me?" First, let’s take a look at the system used at the Governor’s residence. The wind turbine was priced at $9000.00. With the federal and state tax breaks, the cost of the turbine came to about $3,000.00. But if you purchased that same wind turbine, you’d end up writing a check for nine thousand dollars and getting the six grand back after you filed taxes.

The solar panels provided and installed by United Solar Ovonic of Auburn Hills, costs a whopping twenty thousand dollars! In totality, the bill for the wind turbine and the solar panels came to $29,000.00 out of pocket! Those numbers wouldn’t inspire any homeowners I know to make the transition to, "Going Green!" But the good news is, those costs are slashed when you grab your toolbox and DIY - Do It Yourself! You can literally cut those costs by 90% when you buy the materials and complete the install yourself.

How simple is the install? If you can follow basic instructions and put together one of those TV stand kits, you can put build a DIY Home Wind Generator. The parts can be bought online and in a short period of time you can be enjoying the benefits of lower electricity bills!
