RE: More Power from the 400 Watt Wind Turbine with a Hybrid Wind/Solar MPPT Charge Controller
Oh crap @Silvertop... After reading Jack's post just now I was thinking (again) and convinced it would be a good idea to get a small turbine. I was thinking 700 watts and up around 45 feet, we are also on a hill and our area gets a lot of wind when there is wind.
Still think money is better spent on expending solar? I guess it really depends on the situation of the property
Thats exactly true, but I can tell you that where I am, In the NW, we get storms that make Tornado's look like a gentle breeze. I have a ( 500 watt ) turbine, and at best during that storm I have seen 350 to 375 watts. It won't keep my batteries charged. If your hat blows off all day..... look into a turbine... maybe. If not I would put my money in panels
Yea, that's what I'm hearing from everyone... solar is just cheaper in the end I guess! I'm still stuck at understanding batteries for the moment. Which reminds me I have to look into the specs for the charger that came with our trailer...
Have a good day
