John / Wrenches:
 
At the present time AWP or Proven are the only companies with turbines
that work with the WIndy Boy.  Both SWWP and Bergey have had sample
Windy Boy units for quite some time but, to date, neither of them have
elected to move forward with turbines for Windy Boy. I assume they are
both trying to develop their own in house solutions that might be
available at some undetermined future date.  For now just use AWP or
Proven.

Jeremy,

I've been asking around myself a bit. I asked SMA, and they said that
I'd 
need to contact the individual wind turbine manufacturers to find out,

which I've done. Maybe John B. might want to say more here in that
regard 
from SMA's perspective?

Bergey told me that they're going to have a product package to adapt
the 
XL.1 for direct grid tie sometime later this year.

I've emailed SWWP twice, no response yet. Guess it's time to call if I

want to find out more. There was a publicly released article on 
solaraccess.com a few weeks ago that said that SWWP was coming out with
a 
new 2KW direct grid-tie package that they had co-developed with NREL
(or 
something like that). Maybe that meant that NREL had done the testing,
I'm 
not sure. I haven't seen anything from SWWP themselves talking about
this 
new product, though, and they don't respond to my emails.

That's what I know to date,
