[RE-wrenches] Interfacing an Air 403 wind generator

[Peter Talmage]

Thanks all for your input. After bailing out of dealing with wind systems way back in the late 80's when PVs got reasonably affordable I have always tried to steer clear of them. David, thanks for the tip on that Dutch unit. I'll do a little digging and see how they have worked out for folks and if I get one I'll relate the experience.

    Peter, 

    I recently bought a 250 watt grid tie inverter from SWEA in
    Holland.  It is designed for connecting a 250 watt wind generator to
    the grid without batteries.  The kit came with a diversion control
    to prevent over voltage, and a grid-tie inverter that plugs directly
    into an ac outlet.  This is legal, up to 600 watts in Holland.  I am
    planing to test it with an AirBreeze, but i have not had time to do
    it yet.  cost was around $300 and reviews i have read say they work.

    I see on the web that they may be available from a company called
    Insight Wind and Solar.  http://insightwas.com/catalog/swea-watt-grid-inverter-starter-wind-p-39.html

    Let me know if you try it.

    David

            I have a client with
              an independent power system who is going utility
              interfaced. We are putting the 24 volt arrays on Ephase
              inverters. He wants the Air 403 to be interfaced as well.
              Has anyone done this and if so, how ?  Thanks
