The Fortune CP solar/wind systems have the following advantages:

• generation of electricity both day and night - during the day, utilising the sun and wind; and at night utilising wind
• lower in price as compared to pure solar systems

Systems include:

1. PV Array: A number of PV panels connected in series and/or in parallel giving a DC output out of the incident irradiance. Orientation and tilt of these panels are important design parameters, as well as shading from surrounding obstructions.

2. Wind turbine: which is installed on top of a tall tower, collects kinetic energy from the wind and converts it to electricity that is compatible with a homes electrical system.

3. Solar and wind controller: control battery bank charge and discharge reasonable and safety.

4. Battery bank: can be a single battery or multiple batteries connected together to create essentially one large battery of the required voltage and amp-hour capacity. In some ways the battery configuration and capacity are the most important electrical power decision to make, and a wise choice can help guarantee a steady supply of electrical power as well as a system that is simple to operate and maintain.

5. Inverter: A power converter that "inverts" the DC power from the panels into AC power.

6. Loads: Stands for the network connected appliances in the building that are fed from the inverter (AC loads), or from the battery bank (DC loads).

 We offer up to 20KW for small systems. For systems above this, contact us.
