[RE-wrenches] Grid-tie inverter for wind generator

[Solar]

At the community college I teach at we hooked an old M-190 micro to a bergy 1kW wind machine. It's be producing for years now, only 190W but it works. It does over voltage the inverter sometimes. But it always comes back online. If someone smart could figure a way to parallel more micros....

And he just sent me a picture -- heck, it's on something like a 20 ft. pole, so no wonder it's not making much power!  Also he doesn't want to spend a lot of money, so I suspect the Aurora (which would be a pretty good deal) will still be too costly for him.
