There are reports everywhere about new small wind turbines and promises of such high efficiencies that all energy problems would be solved. Vertical small wind turbines in particular look super futuristic and are totally hyped. What is unfortunately not mentioned is that a futuristic design can cost 35% in terms of efficiency. Experts warn against buying too quickly. And because I find it really difficult that so many false promises are being made, today I want to take a closer look at how worthwhile small wind power is in Germany, how different the efficiency is depending on the design and we have also worked out when a small wind turbine is actually worthwhile.
