Another important but often missed part of DIY is when push comes to shove the DIY turbine is likely to be back up and flying after damage from a catastrophe than a factory unit that has specialized components that require either a tech or the factory to install. The home builder understands that certain parts can be rebuilt in the garage with what is onhand if needed.
It is hard to duplicate the feeling you get from installing your home built turbine by installing something you simply bought.
