Bergey 10 kW & Grid Tek [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Thanks David,

I knew that one of the Wrenches had the machine that Bergey pictures on it's
brochures but wasn't sure who.
 
I've played around with WindCad and came up with the following numbers
4.4 m/s (bottom of class 2) results in annual production of 12,057 kWh's
5.1 m/s (bottom of class 3) results in annual production of 17,091 kWh's
5.5 m/s (top of class 3) results in annual production of 19,091 kWh's

The customer will be OK even with the 12,057 kWh's.  I appreciate your
confirming that it had not been a problematic machine for you.  I think I
will post on the marketing page as I'm looking for some good ideas to use
this for advertising.  The customer is very open to me using his
installation as promotion for my company (in fact, he suggested it).

Thanks
Travis
