We don't know where you are. That's important. Go slowly and give details. Real details.

Right now it sounds like you are just starting out. Learn.

Try a search.

...and costs are commercially sensitive information, so don't expect such things to be shared here. Carrying out commercial research should be in the mix of tings to be done solo.

When there is technical stuff that needs some help, do come back to the forum with the specifics.

There are no quick fixes to be found here. But, by simple research on he Internet you will discover many quick information spots that will provide suppliers, installers, blade designs, power outputs, guidelines, etc, etc. All that you require is available to research.

Also check out land costs to build this on, and shipping costs to your country, and perhaps grants from your government to help you build this 'pilot project'.

I recall when homework involved more than just asking a question and having others do it for you.

With your (rather obvious) lack of knowledge on this subject (and no mention of your education level), you are not seriously thinking that you can be better than people or companies that have been working on, designing, building and selling such units for 20 years or more surely?

In your place, I would get at least a University degree in something useful like computer, electrical/electronic/mechanical/civil engineering, Mechatronics or similar.

Then search out a company on this world that will employ you and work for them, in as many different positions as possible for between 5 - 10 years or so....study further at home assuming your country has this possibility also available as in OU in the UK for example....

Only if you are an Einstein or similar/better might you achieve that all on your own I feel.

Best of luck.

As much as you, the customer are willing to pay for it.

My advice is that you get help from a competent, reputable company as it does not usually cost anything for on site estimates.

You will need to provide exact details on size requirements and existing environmental conditions so that an accurate estimate can be developed.

How much do they cost?

Supplier who can help you build this project?
I might know who can help you but it depends on what your purpose for building it is.

Add up a "First-Year-Cost" of some total megawatt-hours estimated in a year of operation in wind-standards tables of 12 mph and utilizing about 32% ( ~barely 35% ) of "claimed capacity" then to "on grid" @ gross of about $.02/KWH G-Profit in Ohio Electric relationships of billing-

comparing that total numerically to:

1000's of US dollars ie) track a ratio with Annual MGWH's to say $200,000.oo for complete first year on-grid costs and all maintenance.

ie.) like 100, 000 MGWH -/year : investment of $ ?, 1000's of dollars.

+

Add as much life-cycle investments as you can gather : maintenance(s) etc.......

to view say a ratio of MGWH's in 10 years to costs of ?,???,???

Look at systems removed to systems operating to new projections approaching a couple companies with "What-if" 's. Some systems today may be 4 or 5 x's better as a ratio, but you write back some of your ideas of the via- buy-ability in ROI's. please.

I am not sure what you have proved here, BUT, I know where you have taken this. If you are going to make this a business venture, clearly one mill is of no use. One needs to have several in order to make this a viable business. Especially when one is totally governed by the grid.

So, one needs to decide if this is for total home consumption to save you money and having power when black outs occur and being totally independant of the utility supplier, or are you in this for gains? (Profits)?

There is a very big distinction between saving money and gaining profits, so your formula may hold sense, but not logical if you are intending to 'make money'.

Self sustainability? Profit? Solar, wind, hydro production, on your own site. One needs to decide where it lays and what is you goal.
