PV & Wind Grid-Tie - Northcliff JHB

Design and installed a small grid-tied alternative energy system for a client in Northcliff Johannesburg.
The client lives on the North-Eastern slope of Nortcliff Hill, thereby getting a fair quantity of year-through wind, sufficient for the wind turbine, combined with the scalable Photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate an Alternative Power supply into the house supply (DB Board).
The system is designed to out supply the daily load, thereby reducing the overall electricity usage and cost.
The system also makes use on a small battery bank to supply backup power to key loads to the house if there is an ESKOM power failure.
