The cost of installing wind turbines is quite high compared to that of 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.
The set up is fairly straightforward and will vary slightly based on the individual energy systems that you are using.
The solar panels would be constantly rotating with the blades so they will fac.
You mean place solar panels on the tower nacelle or blades.
This would put the wind generators a few feet above the ground and in the very turbulent air.
I live near the beach with plenty of wind so i want to add some wind power.
A 10 kw turbine can cost 40 000 or more without shipping and cost of installation.
Wind generators and solar panels can be hooked up together through the same wiring system.
Doing so adds extra weight on blades and hence reduces the power output of the wind turbine.
Cleantec s idea is to add lightweight narrow profile wind generators to the top edge of solar panels.
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.
You simply need to do some research and purchase a controller that is capable of handling both systems.
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.
