Which is 16 000 compared to the 10 000 average cost of 4 kw generating solar panels.
Add wind turbine to solar panels.
I now have a 20 watt 12v monocrystalline panel with a simple 10a 12 24 v solar charge controller into a 12v 18ah battery.
You mean place solar panels on the tower nacelle or blades.
You simply need to do some research and purchase a controller that is capable of handling both systems.
The set up is fairly straightforward and will vary slightly based on the individual energy systems that you are using.
Cleantec s idea is to add lightweight narrow profile wind generators to the top edge of solar panels.
It can be relatively cheap to add a wind turbine to a solar system as you already have a battery bank.
The solar panels would be constantly rotating with the blades so they will fac.
This would put the wind generators a few feet above the ground and in the very turbulent air.
Solar power can just be shut off with no damage to the panels but wind generators must have a constant load or they will free spin and damage the generator and because they produce all the time you have to have a controller that will dump excess power to an appliance like a water heater.
Doing so adds extra weight on blades and hence reduces the power output of the wind turbine.
I live near the beach with plenty of wind so i want to add some wind power.
The cost of installing wind turbines is quite high compared to that of solar panels.
Hi i have a solar battery charging systems that i want to add a small wind generator to.
Buy a good quality turbine with a voltage phase controller cable from the turbine to your home the thickness depending on the wattage and voltage of your turbine a controller a dump load and of course extra wiring fuses and connections.
