I have a MPPT EP solar 4210RN feeding my 24V bank from 500W of solar all happy and working specs: 100V DC input 1000W at 24V (40AMP)
QUESTION: i have bought a 48v 500w 6 blade aliexpress cheap 500watt wind turbine. Can i run the DC output (after the 3 phase bridge rectifier) into the solar charge controller (4210RN) effectively in parallel with the solar panel input)via the wind turbines 3 phase bridge DC out
or should i keep the turbine separated and just feed it straight to the batt bank?
** oh and i will have a over voltage sense cct that activates a dump load on the ac side of the turbine if the volts get up to 28~29v on the bat bank (has time based hysteresis to stop rapid cycling)
