Go back to the drawing board. 9 metres high for 30% power saving is no use,and any wider would be ridiculous in your garden.

Expect another $1K for installation, no crane required; use a Gin-Pole. It's not a Savonius, but another foil type.

The load on lower bearings is also a problem. Except that they produce power at 50% the efficiency of horizontal axis types. The load on lower bearings is also a problem.

This a 100% a scam. The deal is they want to get the subsidy from the government and sell you crap that is almost free (after the tax credit). These turbines are not efficient and have been around for 100 years. Sad to see scammers like these. I know these shucksters and have met them personally. This a 100% a scam.
