Does anyone know how much power a 2.984 kw motor will produce as a generator anyway?
So, I have a Xantrex st2500 grid tie that is designed for solar panels. It requires inputs are at least 48v. The motor is rated at 210v dc.
I see two options
1)
I can charge a 48v battery bank with a controller that is paralleled to the grid tie. I'd think that could regulate to voltage so it won't fry the grid tie.
2)
I can charge a 12v bank with a controller and parallel a voltage increasing circuit to supply my grid tie.
The second loses efficiency do to the voltage increasing but I would be able to get power from my wind generator more frequently in low winds.
I read some of the posts here and can see you electrical guys can help this MET out.
Thanks
