I am surprised they will allow the mastermind inverter. They will not
touch it around here. The original installs are grandfathered but the
inverter can't be used if the turbine is sold and relocated.

I have a couple that get the boards blown a least yearly.
The last one was a real crispy critter....

I think they are fairly delicate, but they are using the same Xantrex
inverter Bergey is using now.

Later,
Bob


Hello All,

 

Please excuse is this is a repeat for those also on the AWEA list.

 

I am researching the Jacobs turbine manufactured by WTI from Prior Lake,
MN.
We have installed small turbines of all sizes including the 10 kW Bergey
Excel-S and a 65 kW Nordtank.  But we have no experience with the Jacobs
machine.  It does enjoy a great reputation but we've all been bit by
products with great reputations.

 

We already have approval from the local utility to use the Jacobs
turbine
with MasterMind inverter.  Combined with our low wind resource and
customer's energy needs we are looking at the 20 kW model.

 

The customer understands that the Jacobs will require maintenance and
has no
problem with that.  They will contract us to do it.

 

I'd really like to hear of others direct experience with these Jacobs
machines from WTI.  Good or bad.  Any thing you have, on or off list
would
be appreciated.

 

Thanks so much in advance,
