yea, it was a pretty interesting conversation. the 7.5 KW system is just for his house. that's it. i should've asked the square footage of the place. maybe it's a 7000 sq ft house?? who knows.
i started out my "rant" with "there's a lot of junk being pedaled by shotty companies, trying to sell turbines". then started talking about payback with a ~$10,000 install for a bergy xl1 that maxes at 11 cents per hour in a GOOD wind location. told him i'm not trying to sound like a debbie downer, but it's just not feasible.
he came around pretty quickly, as apparently i was the third guy he talked to that basically said the same thing. so, apparently there are at least two other professionals out there that aren't trying to take folks money for a system that will never pay back!
