Hi everyone. New guy here.
I just closed on a 5.8 acre property outside Atlanta today. The property has excellent wind and sun - and I'm stoked about getting away from the Utility ball and chain.
I've been doing a lot of reading and I really want to create as seamless a energy system as possible.
The fridge, stove and water heater won't use electricity.
I plan on running a 2kw Wind turbine and up to 6 75watt Solar panels with a diesel generator as backup. My question is, what kind of controller and inverter will I need? I see wind controller, solar controllers and occasionally a hybrid (with a very low wattage rating) that will handle both, but I do not see a controller that will handle the solar, wind and genny. Basically, I'm looking for something that will start the diesel genny up if the wind and solar isn't enough to keep the batteries charged. Am I missing something or not looking in the right place? I want to run at least 5kw inverter for this house. It is a small house and we plan on running wood burning stove (Aga if we can afford it) and Servel of Danby Solar fridge/freezers.
Thanks in advance |
