This is my first post, so please excuse any transgressions of forum/community rules. I was looking at reviews about the TESUP Atlas wind turbine, when I stumbled across this thread. I don't know whether I should be grateful or disheartened by the experience you had with your wind turbine. I was on the verge of taking my first leap into the renewable energy world by purchasing the exact setup you acquired. After everything you experienced I will definitely not go ahead with the purchase. This takes me, however, back to square one: Looking for a wind/solar combination to get started in slowly converting my house to be self-sustainable and eventually be able to operate completely off-grid. From the comments about paying R33 000 for a starting solution as "peanuts", I am starting to think that this game is only for homeowners with deep pockets, as in my world this is a fairly hefty price tag. If this is not even suitable for a starting solution, I am pretty much out of this game before even getting started. I hope someone with experience and knowledge can convince me otherwise?
