    I'm reading up about the Deye 8kW single phase inverter as fast as I can, but I'm not sure whether you can run a wind turbine AND PV at the same time with one. Does anybody here know? (ps I just wanted to say a big 'thank you' to everybody here for all the help you've given me and others over...
