1KW Wind turbine in Bassonia Johannesburg

1KW Wind turbine in Bassonia Johannesburg

My 1KW 2.7m blade diameter Wind turbine is installed and my lights is now running of 4 Batteries with inverter 1.5kW inverter.

I had to change all my globes to 11 watt tubes and 3w led's.
It seem to be working OK keeping my batteries almost full every day.
I had to split my DB board into two sections to allow the inverter to drive the lights separately with a manual switch over switch.
I have increased the high of the tower to 9 Meters and it has made mayor improvement.
