Thanks for the reply. I have been going thru the forums postings, and your name comes up all over. Are you the main guy on this forum?
I would greatly appreciate any info you can give me on a suitable wind turbine. I live in Kimberley, and I have already installed a 2400w solar array, complete with Outback Charge controller, 2 x 3kw Inverters, a 660AH Battery bank. This supplies my home with power during the day, and at night I change over to eskom power. Works very well! However, we have many days (and nights when the wind blows, so I want to try to suppliment my system with a W/Turbine, I'm thinking a unit around 2-3Kw.
