  Small wind is horrible, the efficiency of wind is entirely based on the swept area of the blades. At scale it’s great, but at household sizes it’s just not worth the cost. Turbines and windmills are a ‘Go big, or go home’ situation as far as being cost effective. Solar, even with batteries, is more cost effective for household or mobile sizes.

  See my other comment in reply to OP as to why this might be a bad idea.

  It’s important to note that Europe has 220/240v by default so most household wiring is robust to higher amperage.
