Hi Chris,

Other than the increased cost for the additional equipment, I like the new high voltage XL.1.

I have one in the field, running for almost one year now. Took about 1 hour to work through
the Classic/ Clipper programming but then everything worked perfectly. And no call backs!!!
The customer is thrilled with it.

We saved a bunch of money on the smaller wire run and the turbine produces more energy
for the client than any of the 14 standard issue XL.1s I have out there....and it's not in as good of a wind
resource as some of the others.

So, other than the learning curve on the part of the installer, I see no glitches. And the customer
service at Midnite is second to none (hi Ryan!) so even the learning curve is painless.

FYI- I have the Classic/ Clipper at my place now. It's now controlling my legacy Whisper H1500.
(The old World Power Tech. unit with the big alternator, not the 1kW SWWP unit)

It sure beats the good old "EZ-Fire" controller.....so far, so good!

Dear People:
 
We've had pretty good luck with our XL1 sales, with some out there since around 2001 with few problems.  The turbines have been less problematic than the controllers (we've had to replace a couple of those).  Now Bergey is offering the XL1 with the Classic controller; does anyone have any 'in the field' that can comment on their performance with the Classic?  I like the idea of field selectability of battery voltage but am wondering if there are any glitches....
 
Thanks,
