Adding Wind Turbine to your off grid solar setup

[solar pete]

Any input in a wind turbine as a complement to your off grid solar setup? Ya, the $ spent could be utilized more efficiently with additional panels. More like a way to trickle additional power into the batteries in at night than to depend on for my energy needs.

Who is doing this? Tips, equipment to look at, to avoid, dump loads, etc.

Current system is
6 x LG 305 panels 1830 watts
1 Outback Flexmax80 MPPT charge controller
4 x Fullriver AGM DC250 6 V 250 amp in series to make 24 v battery bank
1 x fx2524t Outback pure sine inverter charger

I get to float every day by noon, so any power produced by the turbine when the suns out would end up being dumped. I know that outback CCs dont work with wind.

Area is coastal northern baja with a healthy dose of wind off the ocean.

Probably a dumb idea. But it wouldnt be my first dumb idea.

I think more panels would be a better bet, cheers.

I would not bother.
