Add Wind Turbine To Solar Panels

It can be relatively cheap to add a wind turbine to a solar system as you already have a battery bank.

Add wind turbine to solar panels.

Wind generators and solar panels can be hooked up together through the same wiring system. You simply need to do some research and purchase a controller that is capable of handling both systems. Doing so adds extra weight on blades and hence reduces the power output of the wind turbine. The set up is fairly straightforward and will vary slightly based on the individual energy systems that you are using.

A 10 kw turbine can cost 40 000 or more without shipping and cost of installation. Which is 16 000 compared to the 10 000 average cost of 4 kw generating solar panels. 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. 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. Hi i have a solar battery charging systems that i want to add a small wind generator to. You mean place solar panels on the tower nacelle or blades. 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.

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 solar panels would be constantly rotating with the blades so they will fac.
