If you're going to have 6 105AH batteries in parallell... you'll have 630AH available amps at 12V....
If your wind generator is putting out it's maximum... Sounds like an Air X..... You'll see a continous fluctuation from 225watts - 325watts maxium and it'll be all over the place ALL of the time..... Let's say your wind generator provides 300watts x 24 hours @ 12volts... You'll have from your wind generator ( 600AH) available for power. Let's say your setup will use 350 watts x 24 hours @ 12 volts - Your equipment will need (700AH) in a 24 hour period. This is only to say that everything is 100% efficient which never is, but you're automatically going to be short 100AH right off the bat... Not including days or hours your wind generator will be working at 20% capacity or it's internal safety shutting it down b/c of excessive winds. You will need 1 wind generator... mounted about 20ft above the tree line .... you will need to atleast triple your batteries and add either (1) more wind generator or (2) solar panels... My advice is to go with (2) solar panels and a very efficient charge controller..... Set it up for battery banks of 24 volts and power your equipment directly from the battery banks, don't use an inverter b/c you lose 15% right off the bat in the conversion. Hope this helps.
