Re: [RE-wrenches] Rugged Wind/Solar System For Radio
Ray, I will check with my customer. They purchased it and I was only involved building a tower and installing.

Who carries the Superwind turbines? We've been looking for a replacement for the old Bergey XL1 to offer clients.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Rugged Wind/Solar System For Radio
As far as wind is concerned, I recommend SuperWind, made in Germany. It is well built and designed to handle high winds. It is rated at 1000 watts and I have seen data showing over 1kwhr for an hour increment. Typically it is outputting 100 to 300 watts. My customer found it on line and asked what I thought about it. I had not heard of it before but the specs sounded good. I already had upgraded their system from a disaster (they actually burned up the power room ) I installed an Outback VFX3648 on an epanel and installed 6 panels on the remnants of their original building and then added 4 DPW racks of 3 panels each so they could tilt for winter snow. 16 L16 wet cells. They do maintenance frequently enough to keep an eye on water level. It worked pretty well, but they still had too much generator time in the winter when it was hard to get propane up the mountain. I then installed their Superwind on a 35" tilt up tower next to their 50' comm tower. Since the mountaintop has good winds during the winter, it has saved them 75% of their generator time and consequently they have not had to refuel in the winter at all. We monitor it with opticsRE and also with some of their transmitter data. Their load is about 300 watts 24/7 with it dropping off a little late at night. It is a repeater site for business band radios, police, emergency etc. John Blittersdorf CV Wind Service.
