wind wiring [RE-wrenches]

[sunwise]

Greetings all,

Three folks on the B.O.D. of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association
live off-grid near Amherst WI.  They are planning to add a 2.5 KW Proven
this spring and want it to help power their three, currently
stand-alone, PV systems.  Does anyone have experience wiring a wind
machine to more than one home?  How did you go about doing so?  Do you
take the wild, three phase ac to each home or rectify at the base of the
tower?  Will the battery with the lowest SOC get the bulk of the
current?  Would the same type of diversion controller be necessary at
each home (one has an SW and there was thought of using the 3 AUX relays
to stage some diversion loads on that home).

All homes are currently 24VDC.  Any thoughts or heads ups would be
greatly appreciated, including HV/LV with transformers and use of
aluminum wire for these runs, which are 300-400 feet.

Much thanks in advance -- Kurt Nelson
