It CAN be a problem. I have a wind genny wiht built in regulator. I have it in parr with a panel. If there is plenty of sunshine, the voltage rises and the wind genny shuts down. If lots of wind, the reverse.
I can get around it by raising the gennys set point, but then if I leave it that way in higher extended winds over charging can result. (The panel has no regulator as I leave muffin fans on all the time which function to absorb excess panel charge). I would like to be able to switch each source to a separate battery, but that would mean a lot more cable so I live with it the way it is. -Ken _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
