A lot of people have solar panels, power walls, and large output inverters in their house-scale emergency power setups BUT why don't we see wind turbines added to most of them?

So how hard is it to add on domestic-sized wind turbines to generate power at night or when it's cloudy? Well, the answer is more complicated than you might think but I'm here to explain it.
