<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A client of ours recently had a catastrophic failure of his Whisper 500 turbine (weld completely failed, turbine destroyed, very ugly) and is in the market for a replacement.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any recommendations out there for a good, quality unit in a similar size range of 3 kW? It is a 48V off-grid system. Any experience, positive or negative with the Luminous branded Whisper 500 units? Given previous experiences with the SouthWest
units and the nature of this particular failure I am reluctant to recommend going that route unless Luminous has done some serious upgrades…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our client wants to salvage as much as possible, and I am having a hard time coming up with anything that would come close to being able to use with his existing tower, 80’ guyed SouthWest make.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As always, much appreciated,<o:p></o:p></p>
