Recommendation: Make a note of the relevant parameters at the site and have them handy when you contact the manufacturer / specialist dealer.

1. What is the average / typical wind speed? 2. How high is the tower?
3. What are the characteristics of the countryside / built-up area in the vicinity of the wind turbine?
4. What is the voltage between phases (measured by a qualified electrician ­ this voltage should be roughly identical in identical wind conditions)?
5. What is the battery voltage? How old is the battery or batteries? 6. Which loads are connected to the battery? 7. Are solar panels also connected to the charge controller? If so:
a. What is the no-load voltage3 [VDC]? b. What is the power [Wp]?
