Ayrshire-based Proven Energy are by far the most established UK manufacturer of small-ish turbines, with a reputation for making robust, durable machines. The WT6000 is a high powered model, that at the right site will generate more energy than a house would normally need, and so you will have spare to sell to the grid.

cost

£18,300 ex VAT connected to the grid, or £23,500 ex VAT battery-charging version. They also offer a model that provides direct heating for £15,200. Price includes installation, but not any work on foundations (if required). If you need a taller than standard tower to catch more wind, that will be extra too.
