I’ve been looking for a wind turbine you could deploy on the roof. I’ve got 15 kW of inverter capacity available.
So far my conclusion has been that it’s not yet time for this.

looks like the closest thing that I'd want, but with the storms we get I'd hate to think of what kind of pressure that'd put on the structure of the roof.

Wouldn't noise be a concern?
And what is the failure mode?

Also vibrations. Wind turbines are not meant to be close to residential areas.

Won't these things just fall off your roof though?
