We get a reading of 7.9 at 45m above ground,..... 7.5 at 25m above ground,....and 6.8 at 10 m above ground,..all good readings as anything above 5.0 is good,....and to be honest I bet we could get slightly higher readings than that because the wind is slightly funneled here

.... but to be sure, I will hire the proper gear from the council

In the event of a long-term power-outage, I'll re-wire the panels and have these charge the battery bank rather than feeding the grid-tie inverter.

If its not too complicated [ for me ], I would be interested in just how you wire for this

I looked at Mr Piggotts location, and he is not easy to get to, being completely off the road system,..I did look at his site, and he seems to be working on turbines around 6watts, although I am sure his knowledge goes beyond that range
