Can a PWM solar controller work with a wind turbine?

Hybrid Capability: The built in PWM solar charger allows this controller to work with both solar panels and wind turbines, eliminating the need for separate controllers. It can also be used as a stand-alone wind (MPPT) or solar (PWM) controller and allows for easy transition to a hybrid system.

Can an MPPT photovoltaic controller change the load on a turbine?

All an MPPT photovoltaic controller can do is vary the load on the turbine, which would - once the foils are unstalled - have a detrimental affect on power conversion.

Should a wind turbine be connected to a MPPT?

It is not us, that say: a wind turbine harvests up to 250% more energy when connected to a MPPT. It's Midnite solar, a competitor. We only say it makes sense. We also want the 3 stage charging. And of course the monitoring. Best Regards Markus @Cpt Pat I would prefer a conversation instead of following all the edits to your post.

What is MPPT charging?

High Efficiency MPPT Charging: Using advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, the controller optimises wind turbine performance by tracking the ideal power voltage point, maximising power output. It also allows the user to enter their own tracking points of the wind power curve if required.

What can an MPPT controller do?

“All an MPPT controller can do is vary the load on the turbine” This is not the only thing a MPPT can do. It can search for the max. power Voltage. This allows the turbine to spin up more easy and has other advantages too. By the way: it would be possible to use the turbine controller without a MPPT too.

Which solar panels are compatible with the hybrid charge controller?

Compatibility This hybrid charge controller is compatible with 24V wind turbines with DC or 3-phase AC output, and 24V solar panel arrays. Click on the Details and Specifications tab for more information.
