<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">HI all<br>my last posts have not shown, heres hoping.<br>I have seen two of these installed on roofs. I have and one of my students now a solar installer,(NABCEP) has been called to repair. he moved the turbine and placed the turbine on a bergey tower, and it appears to perform like a XL0.1 (1kW) it has been up for about 1 month. <br><br>I was called to repair a different unit for no output, in fact negative output (but very little) . I visited the site on a windy day and it was not putting out any significant energy, it was looking for the wind, it would turn left then right, speed up and slow down, like a crazy machine, never holding steady. there were occasions of energy output but it would drop to - about -0.2 amps which I figure is normal wind conditioning unit power draw. The system uses Outback inverter to change the
48 volt DC power to AC grid. I am confident the outbacks were performing up to expectation, the turbine was not. <br>Darryl <br><br>--- On <b>Thu, 4/1/10, Kirk Herander, VSE <i><kirk@vtsolar.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Kirk Herander, VSE <kirk@vtsolar.com><br>Subject: [RE-wrenches] windenergy7<br>To: "'RE-wrenches'" <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org><br>Date: Thursday, April 1, 2010, 5:57 PM<br><br><div id="yiv925476569">

system which will allow their 1.4kw machine (or multiples thereof) to be
mounted on a roof ridge. I cannot find a power curve of their product on their
website, amongst other things. Opinions, experiences please, thanks. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.windenergy7.com/">www.windenergy7.com</a> .</span></font></p>
