Wind turbine active!

 

Peter and Gordon from the Solar Shop in South Australia  (and their wives) spent a couple of hours today connecting up the regulator and the turbine into our system today, so we're now fully juiced!

Check it out! ;-) There is actually a slight turbine whine as it ramps up, but you can't hear it over the wind on the camera, and in person, its barely audible unless standing quite close to the turbine.

 

Wind turbine finally on its pole

After about a 6 month delay, the wind turbine tower was delivered last week. Of course, that was just a tease!

Today we finally got the wind turbine installed, as the pics show, but the actual regulator etc still needs to be done, then it will be all working.

Looking forward to seeing it all working, but at least now we can see what it looks like.
