I think the biggest obstacle might be to get approval from the utility and local government. From what I have seen in California they want full engineering data and certification to get permitted for net metering! This can be costly and complex if not impossible for a home made system.
Let me know if I'm wrong!

Right now I am trying to convince ohio edison electric company that this exists by law. They have never heard of anything called net metering.

Welcome to Ohio.
The California people never believe me when I tell them how it is here, in Ohio.
And never, EVER, argue with the inspecter, but that is another story...

I have not yet built my windmill. Before I build a wind mill I am going to try to build a water wheel for use with my artesian well. That is steady enough that I could probably use a standard solar grid tie. Instead of using batteries isn't there a way to use a capacitor bank? Basicly you just need to condition the electricty before it goes back to the grid right?
