Sunsynk to Wind Turbine

Featured Replies

Hi @Scorp007 

Do I have it correct using a normal genny input via MPPT as if it is a wind generator?

Never thought of attaching a Normal Generator to an MPPT the main post is about integrating Wind Turbines Using a constant voltage controller with the MPPT Which Produces 350VDC I think the problem with an normal generator (Petrol / Diesel) will produce 230VAC which I do not think will be Compatible with the DC MPPT Controller which requires DC Power to function. However if you can convert the generator output to DC then it may work..

 

However the SOLIS SUNSYNK and DEYE Have Dedicated Generator inputs I have seen the Solis work perfectly with a cheap generator integrating the power production seamlessly via the Generator port Personally I have not been able to get it to work with a Susnynk but I am sure many others have.

Thank you

So its 50% of the Inverter rated pv input?? and where will i connect the turbine to? 

No you would AC couple it connecting to the PV Input is a DC Connection.

Ac coupling is done with a Solis Grid Tied Inverter and you would connect the wind turbine to the Solis Grid tied Inverter using constant voltage input. 

The Solis grid tied inverter will connect to the Gen Port on the Sunsynk and you activate Micro Inverter feature on the Sunsynk.

You can try to connect to the Sunsynk MPPT however you would need the exact power curve of the turbine and program each power point into the Sunsynk this can be difficult to get 100 % right AC coupling on the AUX port is the most efficient method.

Interesting.... 

So we still need to get information on someone using rectified DC from the wind genny with 1kw dump resistor and inputting it in one of the MPPTS in a Sunsynk. This could be easy apart from the 1kw dump resistor. 

Much cheaper than getting a Solis grid tied inverter.

The turbine comes with a DC rectified constant voltage controller that we can specify a set Voltage range on for example 350 VDC  however your Dump Load or resistor needs to be double the rating of the turbine especially if it is a fixed blade turbine however the question Andre Asked is how to integrate a turbine if the MPPT's are already fully populated.

Thanks for the detail I missed.

thank you for your input and advise its highly appreciated. Where can i get a quote on this Solis Grid Tied inverter with the wind turbine?
