<DD>The Air is DC, wouldn’t it just feed the battery bank and there for less from the PV to the battery bank and therefore more PV to go to the grid tie………<BR><BR>
<DD> <BR><BR>
<DD>It is a mighty small unit to go to the effort to grid tie unless he has a 18MPH+ yearly wind speed. If he has that much wind go for a SWWP - Skystream wind turbine that is UL listed for grid tie.<BR><BR>

<DD>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<BR><BR>
