Add Wind Turbine To Solar Panels

The set up is fairly straightforward and will vary slightly based on the individual energy systems that you are using.

Add wind turbine to solar panels.

It can be relatively cheap to add a wind turbine to a solar system as you already have a battery bank. The cost of installing wind turbines is quite high compared to that of solar panels. The solar panels would be constantly rotating with the blades so they will fac. I now have a 20 watt 12v monocrystalline panel with a simple 10a 12 24 v solar charge controller into a 12v 18ah battery.

You mean place solar panels on the tower nacelle or blades. Solar power can just be shut off with no damage to the panels but wind generators must have a constant load or they will free spin and damage the generator and because they produce all the time you have to have a controller that will dump excess power to an appliance like a water heater. This would put the wind generators a few feet above the ground and in the very turbulent air. Hi i have a solar battery charging systems that i want to add a small wind generator to.

Cleantec s idea is to add lightweight narrow profile wind generators to the top edge of solar panels. I live near the beach with plenty of wind so i want to add some wind power. Doing so adds extra weight on blades and hence reduces the power output of the wind turbine. Which is 16 000 compared to the 10 000 average cost of 4 kw generating solar panels.

A 10 kw turbine can cost 40 000 or more without shipping and cost of installation. Wind generators and solar panels can be hooked up together through the same wiring system.
