Thank for letting me join the forum. I have just had a 50kw battery installed which has 3 extra MPPT inputs on the inverter and my solar is only 5kw and struggles to charge it. Conveniently my LG washing machine broke last week which provided me with a 36 pole DC motor and joined your group to ask advice.
I wanted to rewire the stator, build a vertical wind turbine using 6 x 150mm PVC pipe halves and plug it into the MPPT inputs to help charge the battery.
Firstly, vertical wind turbine is the easiest to build and apparently quieter but unsure of measurements and potential RPM?
Secondly, which wiring configuration would be best suited for the turbine design?
I am possibly going down the wrong track but happy to receive any advice, recommendations or criticism .
Thankyou in advance.
