Basically, you can't do that. Most wind generators that are small enough to fit on a house roof will only generate 12v DC. They would normally be used to charge up larger 12v batterries which are either used to power low voltage systems of some kind or they are used as a back up in the event of a power failure where they can be used to power limited mains equipment such as computers via an inverter. Suitable site that you might want to look at for further info are http://www.maplin.co.uk or http://www.bullnet.co.uk I hope this helps.

A wind generator small enough to go on your roof will not be able to plug into your electric circuits because house systems are 230v. A/C. The only way is to fit one, or more, wind generators which will be 12volt to charge batteries (like large car/lorry batteries) and these in turn could supply an inverter 12v D/C to 230v A/C to run some of your individual electrical requirements - but they would have to be wired direct, not through your house wiring. Get Maplins Catalogue for such things normally stocked by them

why do you want to generate wind on your roof top?? are do you mean a wind powered electrical generator?? the big petroleum giants would not allow any such critter to become available to the public!
