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 It's an old Cyclone, originally made in Canada.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></DIV>
