We want to buy a 2KW wind turbine from Tesup but there is no ways that you can communicate with these people why are they advertising but no contact information do you know their story 

Good point, Boon--

Case in point- Concerned about energy security when it comes to winter heating, I have a wood burning boiler system, but it requires two electric circulating pumps and a small brain box. I need about 1.5kW/d to run it. Here in WI, even without Alzheimer's, it's easy to forget what the sun looks like over the five month heating season, so solar is cost prohibitive....I figured I could afford to gamble $375 on a 1200W turbine from Walmart. It arrived with a one sheet set of directions. Unfortunately, my Mandarin is a little weak, so I winged it-- no way to contact anybody about questions or clarifications.

It came equipped with a charge controller, which one would assume not only protected from over-charging on the high end, but would also contain a charge booster for the low end of output so batteries could be charged when the wind was not ripping at the rate 27mph-- which, unless you happen to live on Mount Washington--  is probably the more usual situation....It would have been nice if the jerks had warned about that and mentioned that an aftermarket charge controller with boost capability may help.

I have a 1200W/12V vertical, lantern style mill...Does anybody know if a gizmo like this  https://zhcsolar.com/product/wind-turbine-mppt-charge-controller/ will solve my problem?
