Nick,
No matter what you come up with, every battery system will have
different demand's, the hungriest getting the bulk of the power. Can
you get this group to take this one step further and just build a
single battery/inverter system (hopefully at higher DC voltage) and
then distribute the AC? Each home can be metered so the usage is paid
for fairly. I would not try it any other way.
Sincerely,
Larry Crutcher

Esteemed fellow wrenches: May we put our heads together on today's
problem
in my terrain: How best to distribute and regulate the output of a
single
turbine from a convenient distribution point to
four residences on the off grid property, each with it's own 12 volt
battery/inverter system. If I may spare you the details of the
lake/stream/intake/penstock and apparatus, let's say we have
sufficient head and flow to divide 700 watts four ways, average
distance
maybe 300 feet. The problem becomes: diversion controllers and dump
loads
at each battery or some central scheme?
Anybody done this kind of thing? Cautionary tales welcomed. (Any
experienced comments welcomed.
Thanks muchly in advance. Nick Houser Off Grid Services, Lund,
