I am looking to put the 600 watt wind turbine on my roof . I want to tie it in to the grid in my house into the panel box . What do I need to do.

grid tie is solar only but if you have a battery back up you can use the wind turbine to charge your battery's. You will have to buy a Outback grid tie inverter.

Yes, Just connect, one of the two rectifier boards included, to the wires from the turbine and extend the black and red wires to your battery. It will take a fairly strong wind before you get any current out but it does work.

A wind turbine grid tie inverter with compatible specifications connected to the bike's generator would work. This would have to bypass the bike's built in 120V inverter, because grid tie is not listed as a feature. The grid tie inverter is responsible for producing an A/C wave form synchronized to the grid, and turning off when there is no grid power for safety reasons. Anything else would end up (violently) taking power from the grid, and that is a danger to life and property.It is unlikely that you would ever make up the cost of the inverter from any power produced this way.

If wind gusts are a problem I would set the turbine inside of a screen box so as to limit mother natures ability to whip the turbine. I believe it will handle up to 60 MPH winds if mounted properly.

the easiest way to get power out of this unit is simple. send it back or do not buy it. they are junk. go ahead and buy a skymax windturbine and the Missouri wind and solar roof mount. trust me you will be glad you did.

I have the same setup with 45 watts of solar panels. I'm using 12 gauge wire, although 10 gauge will fit. No problems with 12 gauge here.

It plugs into your USB port on your computer. No need to put the unit outside on the roof. Works from your computer usb port.All included.

These brackets mount on the outside metal frame of the solar panel and do not compromise the integrity of the solar panel, itself. You will need to use some sort of sealant on the screws that go into your roof.

Yes, it can be done but is tricky...need to do some research on it...here are a couple if quick links I found to get you started...good luck.. http://forum.solar-electric.com/showthread.php?6853-adding-wind-to-solar-battery-bankhttp://midsummerenergy.co.uk/solar-panel-information/SolarPanelWiringDiagrams/WiringSolarPanelsAndWindTurbinesSingleRegulator

I agree with David Banker. Your most expensive part of setting up any wind, solar, or other green energy project will be your infrastructure. Batteries, wire, charge controllers, converters, fuses, brackets, screws and paint. You will have $2,000 into your project. This is a lot of money and time to put into a project like this. But it pays for itself each year when I loose power for four to eighteen days. I set mine up for just a freezer and I had to add another 300 Watt panels due to the winter solstice. And I live in Nor Cal.

I first constructed a 20 panel solar system going directly into the grid. no batteries. I then constructed a 30 ft. tall 100 watt windmill next to my solar system I used 12 12 volt batteries which are charged by my wild mill.when the batteries are fully charged the excess power goes into the grid. This has made a 20 to 25 % change in my electric bill. I WOULD SUGGEST GOING TO A 50 FT WINDMILL AND IT BE 6000 WATT WITH A 12 VOLD BATTERY SYSTEM.

I installed one panel on the roof of a box truck to store energy in on board batteries. The panel works very good and we will be installing panels on a few more trucks soon. The adhesive is permanent. Buy the controller also.

Used a piece of electrical conduit.....cut it to the size I needed and fastened it to a wall on the roof. A good hardware store can help u on that!

This device is specifically designed to be used to tie solar cells into the grid(your power system) with the minimum of issues.You plug your solar inverter into any outlet of your home and up to two of the 136 watt flexible solar cells on the DC side of the unit ...vowla you have an inexpensive very automated solar system that is easy to add wattage to. I have not had time to install mine yet. Good luck!

You will need adaptor cable, charge controller, tray cable to connect your battery. The typical way to mount the solar panel on the roof is using silicone or other roof glue. You can refer the wiring diagram for more details: http://www.renogy-store.com/v/vspfiles/photos/KIT-RV100D-3T.jpg

Nothing else is required. I had my panels hooked up all winter long to a skidsteer and a tractor. Both fired right up in the spring. My understanding is that a controller is not needed with the 5 watt panels.

I don't know for sure, but mine work great here in Hawaii. Normally, your panels should be a few inches above your roof, so that there is airflow beneath the panels.
