<div class="moz-cite-prefix">And with most all of these grid tie
wind inverters, they rely heavily on an external voltage clamp/
limiter.<br>
With the Aurora it was the MWI interface.<br>
<br>
I don't believe these are available anymore.<br>
<br>
Grid-tie wind inverters are getting almost as hard to find as
affordable 72 cell replacement modules ;-)<br>

Power One (now ABB) had their Aurora GT inverter for wind that I
believe worked down<br>
to around 48 volts. It was (is ?) an MPPT wind inverter kind of
like the SMA Windy Boy was<br>
so would raise its input voltage as the wind blows faster.<br>
<br>
Now that ABB has taken over Power One, I can't seem to find this
one on their web site<br>
but I probably just haven't looked long and hard enough.<br>
<br>
I hope it's still available. It did a pretty good job as I
remember.<br>

have an inquiry from a fellow with a 48V wind generator
(it puts out between 48 and 60VDC). It's an old
Cyclone, originally made in Canada. He's wanting a
grid-tie inverter to lessen his electrical bill; I know
he could use an Outback but he doesn't want to fool with
batteries. Anyone got any ideas what inverter might
work for him?</span></p>
