Wind turbine

[Tarrel]

Yes. The grid-tie panels will operate through a grid-tie inverter that has an "islanding" function. As soon as the grid goes down, the inverter shuts down. It,s to prevent your solar-generated power being fed into the grid and zapping the poor guy trying to fix it.

That's why my grid-tie system will be DIY. I,m foregoing the feed in tariffs so I can design the system to be easily reconfigurable to feed a non-grid tie inverter when needed.
