If you have a look here http://www.oatleyelectronics.com/kits/Notes/k220.pdf
Alot of your questions are answered.
The two parts on the PCB that arent soldered to that say "Link for 12v use" are if you use a 12v windgen system then you put a wirelink between these two terminals. If you use 24v then leave nothing there.
The six connections are: The left most and right most are the windgenerator input Positive and negative inputs.
The 4 connections in the middle of them are for you dummy loads that you connect up. These prevent your battery from overcharging once it reaches a set voltage the power is sent into there rather then the battery.
The wind generator and the battery as far as i can tell are connected in series with the positive terminal. Im not 100% certain of that, but im pretty sure thats how it works. Wait for Gizmo to verify that.
The adjustment on the board is for setting what voltage your dummy load cuts in at i think (or when your battery is charged)... Not to sure though.
Other then that your soldering looks pretty neat, nice work.
