In answer to your inevitable and silent question, just what would it cost me right now?

The answer is 30K 'merickan for tower and turbine. That is 18 metres and 10 KVA. Now, battery, inverter, wiring etc.. is extra, so it was pretty close to my guess of '40K merickan. A tad steep, but there are grants available. Grid dumping is there too.

How long to pay back? I would say a while, but if you factor in the equity increase value of the lot and domicile it begins to look semi-Ok. Right now, it might make sense for a remote lodge that wanted to supplement diesel for household power but at 10 KW you ain't gonna run the ski-lift.
