I'm not sure that using a small 12V motor is an accurate way to measure the turbines output. The turbine is going to supply the current the motor requires to run. Would you expect the turbine to force more amperage to the motor than it requires? The turbine is probably rated at a few hundred...

I was planning on a separate controller for the wind turbine and was wondering if there would be a problem with 2 controllers feeding the batteries or should I get a hybrid controller that controls both. As for the noise it will be quite a ways from the house so I hope the noise is not a factor...

I currently have a small (330watt) solar system feeding a Renogy 30A MTTP controller to charge my 12V battery bank. I'm thinking of adding a small wind turbine for those dark winter days. It would be about 600 watts and have it's own controller. My question is would it cause any problems if I...
