Has anyone had any experience using this particular charge controller for their wind turbine? C440-HVAD HVA Digital C440-440 A Amp/Volt Wind/Solar Battery Charge Controller http://www.colemanair.us/vp_asp/scripts/shopexd.asp?id=723 It came in a kit that was made by Missouri Wind & Solar and...

Will the quality of LED lights improve so they are not so sensitive? I hate using them, as they produce "dirty electricity" on the power line, but when every watt counts, living off-grid, you do what ya gotta do.

Care to elaborate Maitake?

Thank you both!

I saw a YouTube video recently where a guy had a small degree finder device. He used it to adjust his solar panels at different times of the year. Where can I buy one? And what website is recommended to learn what degree I should be using based on where I live? Thanks!

@Will Prowse, so do you think you'll do a future video comparing Mojave to Sol-Ark or EG4?

I'll be watching TV and have a lamp or two on at night. Then I hear the fridge kick on, and the LED lights in the lamps will flicker. Is this due to a fridge on its last leg? Or the fridge drawing too much power from my 3,000 watt Outback Power inverter, or something else? Thanks!

Does Will ever get involved on this forum or is he too busy with his YouTube channel?

I'm not looking to get started with wind, I've had a wind generator for over ten years. I bought one from Southwest Wind before they got bought out. The original charge controller went out, so we replaced it with this wind charge controller...

I was just asking if there is a hybrid inverter that has a built in charge controller that will handle power from wind and solar. I didn't see the answer to my question on the link you sent.

I like the new EG4 that Will has reviewed on his YouTube channel recently. However, I don't think it supports inputs from wind generators. Does anyone know if there is a new hybrid inverter that will take power from both sources? Having both handled by one simple box mounted on the wall would...

I have a 5,000 gallon water tank that feeds into the water main going to 3 homes. With that much water it's not necessary that the pump kicks on at night to top off the tank. What is a good method to ensure the pump does not come on after the sun has gone down? Thank you!

Just curious if Will plans on reviewing these two new devices. I looked on his YouTub channel and did not see anything.

We just got another dual fuel generator and I was reading through the instructions. It said damage could result if you run it with no load. Can someone explain why this is the case? Thank you.

I have a Speed Queen brand washer and dryer. I emailed the company asking how many watts their washer uses at peak times, like when the agitator begins to rotate for example. Here is their reply: "For motors, you cannot calculate wattage by simply multiplying volts x amperage because of the...
