It is connected now. I just need to decide if I will leave it connected or not. But I am planning not to be connected.

I may want to sell power back to them from the wind generators, instead of using a dump load. I will need to see how much they generate to decide.

♡♡♡

oh ok well sir smithlabs I didn't know that you were doing wind power too, I was thinking solar, you have windmills?

Not yet, but I found a 1700 watt 24 volt unit for about $350, that will generate 450 watts at the average wind speed here. The second I will build (new design).

:D

sir smithlabs..what kind of unit? are we talking about windmills?

Yes there is a small business up in Mo. that makes their own wind generator using proven technology. They are not bleeding edge, but they are cutting edge.

My design is newer.

:D

ok sir smithlabs but we are still talking about windmills here right?

No, a windmills pumps water or mills grain; low speed, geared down for high torque, low efficiency; flat blade shape. Output is usually a pump or grinder stone intended to do mechanical work on site.

A wind generator makes power, high speed, high efficiency, geared up for moderate torque; air foil blade shape. output is usually uses a PM Generator with slanted poles to reduce cogging, intended to make power for use or storage.

:D

okay sir smithlabs so these big commercial wind towers are wind generators, not windmills?
