Basic wiring setup for our wind turbine
in a stand alone system.

Replace the standard inverter with a grid intertie inverter and send the excess out to the power grid!
Our wind turbines are like solar panels , as they have no regulators built in like other wind turbines to shut them off when your battery bank is full.
This is old school thinking, which is wasteful and costly.
We believe you should have all your controls at ground level for easy access.
Also it is far better to utilize all the available power you can from your wind turbine,
so extra power is diverted via a charge controller to loads like heating water etc.
This protects the batteries when they are fully charged and gives you extra service from your turbine, rather then shutting it off like most models do.
In other words with our model once your batteries are full and there is still lots of wind, you get free hot water, for space heating and/or domestic use.
