Sure it will work with batteries. I have a potential site for a PV/Hydro intertie situation that I talked with your techs about. It would be nice to be able to connect the hydro into the MM5 rather than having to go to the battery, just easier to wire. But I know that you are working on it.
What is the status of the replacement for the GC-1000?
Thanks for everything,

Thanks Jay - The AEI MM-5 can work in couple of ways with wind turbines, or water turbines. If there is a charge controller with the wind system, it can go straight to battery with a setpoint close to the MM-5 float setting. The MM5 will (with a few setpoint changes) export down to 0.5V below float.The DC-DC converter can also be used to convert higher, and possibly variable speed turbine output down to 48V, but we only have the choices of a fixed input voltage, or PV MPPT at this point. Also, there must be external means to keep the turbine output below 120V, the DCDC max input rating (either self regulated/stalling, or a dump load controller).RegardsRob Wills-----Original Message-----Hi Ben,

The only ones I know about are the Bergy 10kw. I think SmA is working on such a inverter but not there yet is what I've been told.
You might also look at using the AEI MM-5, instead of the SW.

Does anyone know if there are any wind turbines that do not require batteries? I have a grid-tie Sunnyboy PV systems that the customer wants to make a hybrid system adding wind. I thought all wind turbines require batteries and we have to swap out ths Sunnyboy for an SW and add at least a few batteries.
