@@mrsvensmile Hiya and thanks for the comments. Basic system breakdown in the description but in addition i have a Siemens Sirius high voltage DC monitoring relay controlling a 7.5kw resistor bank via a 3 phase solid state relay to limit the turbine in high winds! As the TriStar can only cope with 3.3KW which covers most typical wind speeds. I also have a soft stop system of relays to electronically brake/stop the turbine controlled automatically on full battery or remotely via my phone using a Shelly relay. Sounds complex but it's all pretty straightforward to setup!

@ what I nice setup! I really will take you setup in mind and copie some components thanks from the Netherlands!

@@Deiphobuzz I've never heard of that idea thanks for sharing. I must admit it's quieter now having tuned the MPPT several times since then to effectively slow the rotor down . I noticed quickly the most whistling occurs following a gust then the rotor is freewheeling relative to the wind speed passing over the blades or when the MPPT was disconnected completely leaving the generator with no load so i deduced keeping the rotor loaded nicely helps the aerodynamics of the blades and avoids lots of the whistle . It still occurs to some extent but the house is 170 meters away so you never hear it there now even while stood outside and in any weather conditions but when it was first installed and the MPPT was poorly tuned you could hear it through the closed windows in even the slightest breeze!

Nice! thanks for the response. Glad to see more reviews on this turbine coming out.

Also another question, what type of tower is that and where did you get one? I have been looking at the Aeromotor towers for the heli 4.0 and making a bracket for it, but the one you have looks a lot cleaner.

@@austinshomelab1848 I wish I could tell you more about the mast . I bought it second hand from a guy who bought it new with his 2kw turbine years ago, the only places I've spotted ones the same are as floodlight towers around airports. It's hydraulic folding, fully galvanised and probably originally intended for use as a floodlight mast. As per your plan , I did have to fabricate an adapter plate on the top section And yes no problem, there is a lack of discussion on these turbines it seems . Ista probably don't help the popularity struggle by providing so little information on making the turbine actually work as part of a system .

@@RemFireball I'm sad to hear this. I have a quote from Alibaba to have a hydralic lift 12 meter pole, but it's still about $6500 and that is still more than I want to spend but not unreasonable.

That sounds likely enough for cost . I spoke to SD wind energy in the UK and they sell hydraulic folding mast kits for their turbines and they were minimum of £6500 ​@@jaykuykendall2647

Thanks! I love how this plane fly's! Much more coming soon too, as the weather improves and once Christmas is out of the way!
