[RE-wrenches] PIKA wind turbine.

[Jeremy Rodriguez]

We’ve installed 5 of them. Good machine, and they were worth the extensive lead times. Pika is not focused on their turbine any more, and I’ve been told they will not produce any more, unless they have a large project to fulfill.

Hi wrenches,
    Do any of you own, have installed or know of a PIKA wind installation.  I have a customer asking for a wind turbine to augment the 3.5 kw solar running a mountaintop transmitter site.  I’m looking for some comments about reliability at an unattended site.

My learned fellow Sparkies,

I have at home off-grid Radian with Mate 3 monitor. Periodically & randomly my Mate 3 blanks out and requires a reboot (un-plug / re-plug). While this is not such a big deal to address, the total loss of ALL the performance & usage data is really concerning in the event that I need the data for a T/S.

I have not called OB as there is no cell service at or near the system and to do so is a huge time killer back & forth & waiting to check again. I am convinced the brain trust here is the answer.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Any remedial action to correct this issue?

Let me know & thanks.
