<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Bergey is the only reliable choice I'm
aware of right now. They have the XL.1 1000 watt, and I believe
it jumps to the 10 kw unit.<br>
The 1 Kw units are now using Midnite Controllers, which is
definitely an improvement.<br>
I can't advise on adapting to the tower, as I (thankfully) never
sold any of the Whisper machines.<br>
I'm sure Bergey sells adapter hardware that could work.<br>

<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>
