It’s incredibly well known that wind power completely depends on how large of an area you can cover with the blades. That’s why wind turbines keep getting bigger and bigger. They’re more efficient and deliver more energy. Roof mounted wind turbines for residential are one of the worst possible renewable energy sources for general consumers. You’re better off with solar or geothermal.

Like someone else said, a single solar panel can outcompete a roof mounted wind turbine. You’d be better off buying a portable camping solar panel and using that to charge a battery bank and then charge some of your electronics off of that.
