We had a few windy days in a row, so I was able to capture this from the WindView site. Unfortunately, the controller doesn't get data from the inverters, yet. I believe they said that was coming in another version of the controller. There is a place for the data from each inverter in the screen above. You can connect a laptop to the inverters and get a report on those too. The Inverter LCD screen gives you stats as well. So far, our peak output was 6,107 watts on each inverter. That means it can produce 12,214 watts, but that is right be for it shuts down to protect it's self from winds that are too strong. Soon it will be September and the wind will pick up again. I never thought I would be looking forward to the end of summer.
Glad to see that things finally came together for you. I think you meant to write 12,214 watts. How many kWh has it produced so far since you flipped it on? What is the kWh at lower wind speeds - say 5-12 MPH range? Any comment on the level of noise that you can hear?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction. I just fixed it to say 12,214 watts. We are calling day 0 the day we connected to the grid. We've only made 32KWH since then, but on those no or low wind days, we wind up loosing power -running the system, if we don't turn it off. It seems that low wind speed that consantly changes direction is the eats up the most power.
ReplyDeleteThe only noise is when it is Very Windy you can hear the breaks come on.
Just curious...We cannot get Windview to work in Internet Explorer. Redriven says they don't support IE. Your screen shot shows you are viewing it in IE. Can you tell me what version you are using?
ReplyDeleteI'm using IE 8.0 and it works with windview.
