I will suggest removing the trees that back up on your turbine to improve performance. I can't explain the physics of air flow - but I do know that having a "backstop" for wind is almost as bad as having a windbreak between the prevailing wind and the turbine. The upshot is - the less turbulence, the better. As you point out, having peak WT production during overnight hours is the ideal compliment to PV. And don't underestimate the long term contribution of a 24/7/365 trickle charge 😉
Even if you get a consistent 100 to 300, thats a lot of power in 24 hour cycles. Remember tonapply the electric braking when notnin use to protect it (usually by tying one or more output phases together). Your controller will likely do this once connected. 😊
AH HA! You know about the electrical side of wind turbines. That's terrific! Most folks seem to get stuck when contemplating how to merge PV and the wild current from a turbine. When the day comes that you do this project, spending some time on "how to merge" will be very helpful to our community :)

Would love to see a full tour of the farm now, another year later
Me too!
