Hi all. We have a pair of Southwest Windpower Air 403 turbines which were installed in 2001. A storm recently damaged them enough to warrant an insurance replacement. The pair are flown on a single 60' guyed tower with a "T" boom separating them. I believe they are max 425 watts each, 24V. I do not think new parts are available, and as an insurance replacement I could go to a single unit instead, one having double (or more) watts. Does anyone know of what is good these days for the above scenario? We go from no wind to 85mph here and there. The two were pretty good at producing above maybe 20mph so I don't want a beast that needs 50 knotts to get it moving.
I have 20 years exp on wind vs solar here in Ohio so I know those issues... still need a replacement.
thanks
