We bought a Marine Kinetix wind generator soon???
In Response To: Putting in a wind generator ()

You bought one or you are buying one?

Having both wind and solar I prefer the solar and wouldn't get the wind if I did it over again. The solar is far more consistent. If you have solar try not to shade it with the wind generator. If you have room add more solar, skip the wind.

My $.02.

PS. I just bought two 140 watt panels to replace some 20 year old Shell solar panels that have issues. $2 per watt. The original Shell 53 watt panels ran about $7 per watt. Solar is a bargain today and getting cheaper.
