Connection Overview:
The Wind Generator is connected to the Solar Wind Hybrid Charge Controller, which changes the Alternative Current output by the generator to Direct Current (AC to DC). Electricity generated by the wind turbine are then stored to batteries. Note: the 12V Batteries above are not included.
If your home or farm is connected to the power grid, on windier days you may be able to sell excess power generated by your wind turbine to your utility. At other times when the turbine cannot generate all the power you need, you would buy power from the grid. This concept is called net metering.
Even if net metering is unavailable, you might be able to reduce your power bills by using the electricity generated by wind turbines, and become less dependent on your utility.
Power curve: Performance curve of power output versus wind speed
Since wind speed increases with height, increases to the tower height can mean enormous increases in the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine.

WARNING !!!
Rotating blades present the most serious mechanical hazard. The blades may be moving at velocities over 275 miles per hour (440 km/hr). At this speed, the tip of a blade is nearly invisible and can cause serious injury. Under no circumstances should you install the turbine where a
person could come in contact with moving rotor blades.
The installer of these blades is solely responsible for the use or misuse of these blades. We assume no liability for ANY injuries caused by these products.
