Power lines must be ran to the units, along with roads for maintenance crews to be able to service the units. The generators themselves and blades are also expensive, along with the tower itself. Rent or buying the land is also a factor. Newer systems also have inverters that will sync the power to the grid. All these factors go into the total cost of building and placing a unit.

Who invented the first wind turbine?
The inventor of the wind turbine was Charles F. Brush in 1888.
What is a wind turnbind?
A wind turbine is a form of electric generation. On top of a tall pole there is a turbine (fan thing) and the wind spins it around. The turbine is connected to a motor which generates an electromagnetic flow from the motion.
What does a wind turbine do?
A wind turbines uses the wind to power an electricity generator.
What are the disadvantage of a wind turbine?
There Aren't many disadvantages only the cement used for the base and the cost for building and transporting it.AnswerThere are very few advantages. Wind turbines are one of the most expensive forms of energy generation, made affordable only because of enormous subsidies which are then passed on to consumers as elevated energy bills. They only produce a fraction of their rated capacity for most of the time. Their energy output is completely unpredictable. In the case of the UK, none is made in the UK, so taxpayers money is used to employ foreign workers to manufacture them and to increase the profits of foreign companies.On the other hand, if you are a landowner (paid to have them on their land), or a wind turbine manufacturer, or a wind turbine worker, then wind turbines are wonderful!
How can a 5mph wind turn a wind turbine?
With a new kind of wind turbine called a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) that can produce electricity in winds as low as 5 mph.
What is the most expensive part in a wind turbine?

What is the cost to install wind turbines?
The estimated cost of installing a wind turbine is $8000 - $10000 for a small turbine and up to $20000 for a larger one. The average wind speed will also determine how expensive a model is required.
How expensive is it to install a rooftop wind turbine?

What makes a wind turbine move?
Wind makes the turbine move and the wind makes elctrecity.
Where can you find instructions on how to build a wind turbine?
Websites or specialist groups focused on renewable energy resources are great for connecting you with people who have already had experience with wind turbines and you can learn a lot from their trials and errors! For a faster approach, there are videos on Youtube that offer various solutions on how to build a wind turbine.
How is wind created in a wind turbine?
wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
How a wind power system produce electricity?
The wind turns a wind turbine. The turbine turns a generator.
What is another name for a wind tower?
Another name for a windmill is the wind turbine
What are the benefits of building your own wind turbine?
There are some benefits to building your own wind turbine. The biggest two are being able to generate your own electricity, thus not having to pay the power company for it, and any excess power you generate the power company will buy it from you as they can always use it on their grid.
