Hi Geoff;

I'm sorry I have no info in those other Wind units, but I just installed a 
Bergey XL.1 and wanted to ask a Bergey man how do you deal with code 
issues?  I like Bergey, but I find I have to use some pretty creative 
methods to say land conduit to their controller. Also they say NOT to put a 
disconnect between their controller and the batteries, so that too made me 
uncomfortable and seemed to violate some basic code requirements. Bergey 
then states that: " All wiring should conform to the NEC..." ; definitely a 
conundrum and I'm basically pretty liberal on code issues.  Also, our local 
building code restricts the height to 35 ft, making decent turbulence free 
installation difficult if not impossible.
All thoughts, wisdom, expertise, etc. the list has to offer would be 
greatly appreciated.

Ray
