Here is an interesting low tech wind generator that mounts on top of
your house and is claimed to generate 4-5KW from as little as 10-20 mph
winds. Very interesting and they certainly seem cheap enough to install,
perhaps tie two of these into a battery network, inverters for the
breaker panel and you are set.

Aaronan Power manufactures and sells roof mounted wind generators for
electrical power. These units are small and light enough for residential
as well as commercial use, and will typically generate four to five
kilowatts with a 10 to 20 mph wind.
Our money saving units are connected directly into your power breaker
panel. They will reduce your electric bills! Of course, when the wind is
not blowing hard enough to supply all of your power, your additional
power needs are still supplied by your electric company.
Units are $2500, plus $1000 if we install the unit. Instructions come
with each unit so that you save more money by installing it yourself, a
simple, half-day operation.
