John and Jeremy,
Actually there may be some alternative solutions to your WindyBoy question
available before too long. Both do require a small "token" battery bank
though. It is a true multi-mode, which accepts wind, solar and generator
input, controls both the turbine and solar, is field selectable for 50 or 60
hz, is approved all over the planet for connection to the grid and is
currently close to getting UL approval. They are available in 2.5 and 4.5 kW
versions, and both produce 230 single phase and 155 split phase (field
selectable).
These are great inverters, but are currently only available with two of the
wind systems we import - the Eoltec and Ropatec. WE also import Bornay
turbines but they currently have to use Outback inverters or something
similar. You can contact me off-list if you want any info on this stuff.

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,
John Raynes
