DO NOT GET ANY WHERE NEAR THAT POS! You will find that their rated output, when its NOT being repaired, falls quite below their estimations. Do the industry a favor & suggest something that works. Untill SWWP gets off their butt & FIXES this unit right, I suspect that you might see a class action suit from their angry & disappointed owners. Lets see; $$$13-18k for a wind turbine that might produce or selling a client solar PV that we CAN give the customer a guarantee of the expected, quiet & very little maintaince, output.

It functioned well in testing with the grid shut off. The batteries were pretty full, so we didn¹t get to see much charging through the inverters, but the battery sensor did disconnect the turbine when the batteries were full. Been lucky so far with Skystream I guess... P.

They are offgrid, with a 48V battery bank. Has anyone used one of these in an offgrid situation? Most of the information I have on them is with their grid-tied unit (and the positive notes on those are pretty slim). THANKS!
