Sid Genetry Solar Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Welcome, and thanks for the overview. Didn't know that wind turbine propeller could be used as a coat rack, haha 😉... How's the Leaf pack stacking up? Any BMS/balancing system? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Genetry Solar Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Ha, took me a moment to recognize a WiFi board... ...I can be rather slow sometimes. How's the WiFi board doing for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yeah the coat rack is just temporary till I get a boom lift hopefully within a month. I gotta change out the center pole out of tower 1 1/4 to 1 1/2”, turbine is bigger then my last one. Leaf packs no problems besides can’t find anymore full packs( would like to buy another full). Bms had ants but both burned out not sure how, now on a Daly just to get by. Will be ordering a Orion soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's the WiFi board doing for you? It’s a very nice upgrade then the old pj lcd. I sleep a lot easier at night lol. Haven’t yet connected it to WiFi but the functionality of the board is a must for me. Glad you designed it Sid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Genetry Solar Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Have a lot going on, but hopefully I'll soon be able to get back to the firmware and get an update with battery charging enabled + misc bugfixes. Yes, the WiFi board gives a LOT more info into the inverter's internal workings, that was the point 😉. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwicked007 Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Solar array pics. 6 in series. Think I might rewire 3s2p in future. 4 in series on rooftop & actually 2 under window that go to a grid tie only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwicked007 Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Picture of the wind tower.(not all the way extended up) wind turbine was a Chinese 500watt with mw&s raptor blades. It did an average 200watts an hr & yes it actually did produce 500 for a sec in really bad storm wind gusts. New turbine is a thermodyne that I’m currently in process of welding a bigger pole for it.

Bwicked007 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Big update on wind production. The thermodyne is up! Had to cut out the old pipe for 1/2 inch bigger pipe. But should be worth it. Now I will build a delta configuration axial flux turbine for a second turbine. Will be using 15gauge magnetic wire… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwicked007 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 @Sid Genetry Solari have a question what would be the max continuously power outta my pj? 12k-10k? My all time high peak wattage was 15k & some change( I have wiser energy monitor system). When are those 12k coming out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My all time high peak wattage was 15k & some change( I have wiser energy monitor system). Expect no higher than 6-7kw continuous duty out of the 15kw PJ. They'll do surges and higher loads for a short time, but consider yourself fortunate to reach 50% of the nameplate at continuous load. My "9kw" PJ would redline and overheat at 3kw. 7 hours ago, Bwicked007 said: When are those 12k coming out? Still don't know, per Sean's videos. Have some final testing/tweaks to run (seems a little shy of reaching 12kw continuous at the moment...might need to change the transformer core), then a lot of design and logistics to work out.
