Diving in deep, is the way it should be.

If you already have a 12v system, you need to work out if this works well enough for what you want. You need to weigh up the cost to change to 48v and the cost to stay with 12v.

By the way you ask the questions & buying a 48v wind mill, with a 12v system, it sounds like you want someone to tell you what you have already worked out.

If you want serious power, use a 48v system. There is no reason why you couldn't use the 12v system as well. Just don't parrallel the ac outputs of 2 or more inverters. They all burn out, unless they are built for it. They would be completely seperate systems.

What regulator do you have on the solar panels ??
