Can I use wind and solar in the same combiner box? For example, a wind turbine with 3kw and a solar panel with 2kw to be connected together using the combiner box to produce a single output of 5kw.
Yes, having other charge sources (including other manufacturer's charge controllers) in parallel with Morningstar TriStar may work. You will want to match all of the charge settings as close as possi
The clipper as the name implies clips the voltage and protects the charge controller. It also serves as the dump load, but instead of bleeding power off of the battery or battery bank, it prevents ene
No, you cannot run wind and solar simultaneously through a single Morningstar TriStar MPPT Charge Controller (this is possible with a TriStar PWM Charge Controller), however, you may simultaneously ch
The MidNite Solar MNKID-B is programmed for solar applications only, whereas the MNKID-HWB is programmed for use with hydro systems and/or wind turbines. In other words, they differ in the software th
No, the OutBack Power FM80-150VDC and FM60-150VDC Charge Controllers are not rated or designed for use with a wind power system. You may want to consider the MidNite Solar Classic 150 Charge Controlle
Yes, The MidNite Solar CLASSIC 150, 200, and 250 provides solar, wind, and hydro MPPT modes. The CLASSIC SL only works with solar power.
All wind turbines create wild AC which will need to be recti
