Did you buy the wind generator or make it yourself? That seems like a pretty good deal for 400W. I have property so I can go 20ft based on the city's building inspector. How big is your wind turbine?

I bought my first on to get things going. I'm working on building one also. I'm using the project from here as well as this site as a reference.

I purchased the 400watt from amazon with the purpose of reverse engineering it for a few things I was uncertain about. Cool thing is it's keeping my battery bank topped off. While I play.

I hope to post a few pic today.
