Hi everyone,
I have just completed a homemade wind generator using a DC treadmill motor. I can't remember the exact details of it, but it was 180v. I was charging the battery with a solar panel, but because it is located at a remote site some vandals threw rocks at the panel, and it slowly stopped being effective at charging. (not remote enough, it seems). I deceided to build this windmill as a challange as well as a practical use. Because I was using a solar panel, I have a solar charge controller. (edit) I have a Juta 20 A.
The windmill generats DC and I have it connected to a 12V system.
I know that solar charge controllers are not always suitable for wind, but do you think this will work for me? It does have a dump load system, so that's why I'm asking if it will be suitable for my wind generator.
Thanks in advance for any help
