Easy and quick installation. Wind systems come in small sizes and have a shorter construction lead time than extending the utility lines ("grid").
Low maintenance. Wind turbines can operate for extended periods without attention; with only a few moving parts, these systems have very low maintenance requirements, typically needing to be inspected only every two years during their 20- to 40-year design life. Further, with training and spare parts, local users can support the wind turbine equipment that they are using.
Generation of local employment. Small wind turbines are not difficult to manufacture. In this respect, local manufacturing, under license or through a joint venture is often a suitable option for developing countries since they would benefit from reduced foreign exchange requirements, better support capabilities, local economic development and, usually, lower production costs.
Economical. Wind systems replace existing household expenditures for kerosene, candles and dry-cell batteries and are the best option from the user’ s point of view since operational costs are not a burden i.e no fuel needs and easily available and affordable spare parts/requere scare hard currency
