[RE-wrenches] Skystream for 48V battery charging

[Phil Schneider]

Chris,

We have one connected to the backup panel of a battery-based grid-tied
system (Outback GVFX).  It functioned well in testing with the grid shut
off.  The batteries were pretty full, so we didn¹t get to see much charging
through the inverters, but the battery sensor did disconnect the turbine
when the batteries were full.  Been lucky so far with Skystream I guess...

Hello Folks:

I have a customer who's become enamoured of the Skystream wind generator.
They are offgrid, with a 48V battery bank.  Has anyone used one of these in
an offgrid situation?  Most of the information I have on them is with their
grid-tied unit (and the positive notes on those are pretty slim).

THANKS!
