(not that I have the money to buy one anyway). They have a 2.5kW turbine

The Proven is a very good unit, however you are going to be paying around
=A37K to get it installed, and then get =A32.5K back from the government

get =A31K from the government as a grant. As this is a renewable energy

it's only rated at 5% VAT, so as the Americans say, do the math. The total

Windsave are also getting tie-in to various large companies (Scottish Power
being one), so the backup should be there as well.
