Back in the winter we installed a 3m diameter Hugh Piggott wind turbine that we made on a course a few years ago. It was in a lovely spot in Oxfordshire at an off grid farm.
Existing system:
- 48V 1026Ah battery bank
- 12.5kW solar PV
- 2 x SMA sunny boy inverters
They were struggling for power in the low-light months so contacted us asking for our help with a wind turbine. They sourced the tower and we provided and installed the turbine and electrical system:
- 3m 800W 48V Hugh Piggott wind turbine
- Break switch, rectifier, master fuse
- Charge controller w/ dump load
- Shunt & SMA interface
