Our wind is way above average makes Chicago look breezy.

@azzow2 a quick google search tells me you need an avg wind velocity of +20 mph to beat a solar. Solar is just more efficient right now. the grid (once you include the price off upkeep on the battery banks, is pretty close in price.), though the way things are going I have read solar is starting to break even. (price wise over 10 years)

2. 12V 55Ah High Capacity Deep Cycle Battery for Solar Wind Panels and a 12V 35AH Rechargeable Sealed Lead Acid Battery. I have a solar panel charging them they do not last the entire night.

@azzow2 was a different set up i was looking into but the minimum was 6 100ah batteries and a combined wind turbine solar panel set up just to have a 24 hr low usage (trickle charge small fridge and led lighting in campervan) if i remember correctly

@weeman Was thinking of the turbine because of winter months up here on the mountain are very windy.

@azzow2 i take it you have land and are thinking of installing a setup that immovable

@weeman Yes, I have 2.3acres. I wanted to put something on the house too it is just way expensive for a closed hybrid system.

@azzow2 fck sorry somehow blocked you checking out your profile but i see someone else has posted good advice

@azzow2 and it depends the better system you install the more useful it will be bt that will cost more money the system i was looking at for a campervan was over 3grand
