I'm interested in using an off grid system for a cabin I just started building. I've learned a lot from the videos, and hopefully more here. I plan to run about 1200 watts, maybe 1800, fully off grid. I also just purchased a 60' tower that will hold some panels, antennae, and a wind turbine.
 
GDay Will , Obviously a ham . Better to keep you panels down low if you have to work on them

Wind turbines seem useless to me on a 24 volt system. Maybe you know how to use them better . I'm sure in a windy spot.
 
Not a ham, I just wanted a tower. I'll put panels on it, as well as a wind turbine and TV antenna.
