@leamyvideo Hey, thanks for the advise. I will look into the Sun G 500. I want to add another GTI to my system as it is, so I can dedicate one to my solar and one to the wind. Thanks for the comments!
Hi, I test 540 pma also on grid tied like I do with the Airx it slowing down allod when it get load on it making no power .The airx speed high rpm i get with the 2 grid tied combine with 60 watts solar I get like 125 to 145 watts I can get more but the Airx reach the top speed or protect speed for not damage the Airx & with the 540 pma do the same test today with same good wind. I get only 45 to 50 watts the pma when get load on it. it will slowing down making no power
Hi, I just put my wind turbine today I used missouri 9 blade rapter & windblue 540 pma I get like up 24 to 50 to 60 volt open no load, but when you put it on the 24 bank battery it slowing down allod i dont now if it gona charge my batteries I used 8 golf card 6 volt battery. I think with the test I do & also I test my wind turbine that I have before Airx 12 volt 400 watts , I think I get more power with the Airx than the windblue let me now, Thanks.
Your blades seem to work very well. I think you would be more happy with our 2 blade cyclone. You get the power and rpms with a 2 blade setup. We have tested many blade options and found that the 2 blade design works best. Thanks for your support and feel free to contact WindBlue Power at our web site. Thanks :)
I'm facing a similar situation and I found a voltage monitor switch by Timemark model number 2621-12VDC. It has a high set turn on point and a low set "reset" point. When your voltage reaches the high set point the relay closes and will allow the batteries to drain down to the low set point. It then opens the relay, disconnecting it from the grid tied inverter. The wind turbine can recharge the batteries back up to the high set point again and the cycle repeats. The set points are adjustable
Dont hook up batteries to those small grid-tie inverters because the grid will suck them dry. Just hook the turbine straight up to it because the input voltage is 14-28 and will handle 30v. My dad does that and he also puts a heating element on it to keep the voltage down and it works great
hey I left a reply to a comment from you on my video before I wtched this video.I see from this video that you already know what to do . it sounds like I could learn a few things from you.if you figure out the best way to do this let us know TAKE CARE.your turbine looks great I have the same setup but its not up right now
hi im working on a wind turbine set up now what i think would work is a controler with a dump load so when the batts get full the dump load would trigger a timed relay that would tie in the grid inverter for a short time untill batterys get to low then cut off and repeat cycle will let you know how it turns out i dont get much wind so have to wait to try out rich
Sorry, can't help with your question about the grid tie. Ever check out Missouri Wind and solar? Watch those micro turbines fly. Jeff told me he was getting 90A out of his 12 blade turbine X-mas eve. Flipping awesome!
Much better. Your first turbine was a good start but this one looks MUCH stronger. Not a fan of PVC for anything on a turbine. That unsuspecting day when winds of 50 and up winds come through it will tear it to shreads. Using all steel and an alternater for a pma there is no need to furl. Rake that power in when the winds are high. Mine's take 50MPH with ease with the same type of construction. Keep in touch.
@leamyvideo see it

Id also put some guy wires on that pole or she could come crashing down in those gust

use 6 12v batterys.
3 parelel strings of 2 batterys in searies.
that will absorb a ton of juce and keep your inverter goin a long time betwean wind gusts.
and maybe some more solar pannels.
