Wind & Solar Hybrid System Value Package

1.2 kW Hybrid System Package

Performance: 80 - 200 AC Kilowatt-hours (kWh's) per month (depending on wind and solar resources)
Recommended for: Typical off-grid homes, schools, clinics, etc.
Systems without back-up engine generators
Retrofit to existing diesel-only power system to provide up to 24-hour/day power availability
Wind Class 2 or higher
Note: This hybrid system provides more consistent year-round renewable energy production. These systems are modular and can be expanded easily.

Hybrid wind & solar systems provide more consistent year-round performance and reduce the need for back-up generation.  We highly recommend wind and solar hybrids for smaller systems.

We recommend this package for homes, schools, clinics and other smaller off-grid applications.  These systems are also easily retrofitted to existing diesel-only systems in order to save fuel and provide up to 24-hour power.

The solar modules are special 24 VDC, 100 W modules designed to mount directly to the wind turbine tower.  Two modules are used to provide 200 W of solar capacity.  The modules can be placed well above the ground for security or to solve a shading problem.  The XL.1's PowerCenter provides voltage regulation.

The BWC Hybrid.System stores excess energy in batteries for use during low wind periods. It can also charge the batteries from a back-up generator (requires SB option).  With a manually controlled back-up generator the Hybrid.System can provide up to 24-hour/day power.  

The Tubular Tilt-up tower can be installed without concrete and they tilt-up after all the assembly work is done on the ground. The 64 ft. tower in this package is the most common height used for the XL.1 turbine.  For sites with trees, taller towers are recommended.  These tower are available in height up to 104 ft.

The batteries are Trojan T-105's, a workhorse of the home power industry and an excellent value.  A total of eight individual batteries are connected in two parallel strings of four batteries in series (24 VDC nominal).  This battery bank will supply up to several days of power without wind energy input.  The Trace TS524 modified-sine-wave inverter provides 120 VAC (or 230 V, 50 Hz at 400 W)  and is available with a stand-by (battery-charging and transfer relay) option.  A back-up engine generator can be easily integrated, but it must be manually started and stopped. 

In addition to the equipment costs given below, a complete installation will typically include the following costs:  shipping, sales tax, permit costs, foundation and anchoring (some soil types), wire run, turbine and tower erection, battery racks or vault, electrical hook-up, and inspection fees.  Some users also incorporate a back-up gas, propane, or diesel generator into the system for extended periods of low wind speed. Your dealer or Bergey WindPower can assist you in budgeting these additional costs. For budgeting purposes, these costs typically range from $600 (customer installed, no sales tax, etc) to $1,800 (Certified Dealer, sales tax, etc).
