Hey guys! I am finishing my new off-grid house in Eastern Europe and am getting ready to assemble the power station for it. The specs are as follows:
Growatt spf5000es 5kW inverter / 6x660W Canadian Solar mono panels in series / 280Ah Lifepo4 (DIY) with an Overkill Solar 100A BMS and a separate 5A active equalizer (16s 48V).
Based on the experience with my previous off-grid home, this time I want to add a wind turbine to the setup, as I am living high up in the mountains and am getting a lot (like A LOT) of wind here during the winter, which might be rly helpful during the gloomy days. I am looking into IstaBreeze i1500 in a 48V version.
My question is about wiring the whole shabang as I haven't had any past experience with wind turbines before. As far as I understand, the turbine comes with a controller and is giving fixed 48V, while the current is floating depending on the wind (correct me if I'm mistaken).
So, what will be the perfect way to connect the solar and the turbine to my home? Is it possible to use only the Growatt, or I need a whole separate setup for the IstaBreeze? I was thinking about connecting the turbine in series to the solar and then into the PV input of the Growatt (the max voltage of which is 450VDC), or maybe wiring the turbine directly to the battery bank, but am not sure what's the right way to go. Will appreciate your feedback a lot!
