Seriously,
If you remove the blades they make a nice quiet wind direction indicator although a little more expensive than a wet finger…

/span> Re: [RE-wrenches] Interfacing an Air 403 wind generator
Bob-O;
I was going to hold off on the obvious....
I think they're also good as a bird repellant, noise maker, etc. but I've never seen one actually make over 175 watts, and that was a 1 sec burst in strong wind. SWWP always said the low output was due to the thinner air at high altitude, but then Bergey always claimed our problems with the XL1S popping a 60 amp breaker was also due to high altitude, and the blades spinning faster.
Confused? Hmmm.
I'd say the bottom line is If the customer wants backup power, then go Outback for the whole system, and keep the turbine just for funnzies.

| Hi Dana,
The Air is DC, wouldn’t it just feed the battery bank and there for less from the PV to the battery bank and therefore more PV to go to the grid tie………
It is a mighty small unit to go to the effort to grid tie unless he has a 18MPH+ yearly wind speed. If he has that much wind go for a SWWP - Skystream wind turbine that is UL listed for grid tie.
