Small wind turbines (sometimes called home- or farm-scale turbines) are turbines that produce enough power for a single home, farm, or small business. Typically, small wind turbines have an output rating of 100 kW or less, but this can be larger and will vary based on on-site electricity needs and the laws of a particular state. Check out our Scale of Wind diagram that depicts the differences in size and power of wind turbines.
