Wind Mini vertical axis machines need an electric motor for start-up but are less affected by turbulence near buildings than horizontal axis
Heat pumps • Seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) • 1 = 100% efficient • 0.9 ~ high efficiency gas boiler • >3 to compensate for efficiency of electricity generation
