Any recommendations for a company that can quote out an installation in the Azua area? Would prefer to have a combination of wind and solar with batteries. Doesn't need to power more than some night lights, fridge, and tv to begin with.

I agree w/ donP..... I've been watching & wanting wind for years but have yet to see a system I would buy
My solar is trouble free 5 yrs in to it.....
I need to power a 3.6 kilo inversor. Are solar panels better? Is there enough knowledge to install in DR? Is there anyone who knows what all those numbers on the solar panels mean??
Sorry for all the questions. I need to place this in a 3br apt, I have the use of the rooftop so, I am able to place it, just need guidence.

We have a marine windmill, but even though we have a strong wind coming off the ocean almost all the time, it rarely gets to that 'humming' stage when it's really moving. Last trip we took it down, next trip we're going to try it in a different location.
Unlees you have very strong and very consistent winds, I would not spend money on wind generators for private property. That is best done on a large scale.
Solar panels are a better investment if your property supports the quantity you need.
Well I am really not interested in solar panels.They are very expensive with little efficiency..I need to power a 3.6 kilo inversor. Are solar panels better? Is there enough knowledge to install in DR? Is there anyone who knows what all those numbers on the solar panels mean??

Thanks to all in advance

Well I am really not interested in solar panels.They are very expensive with little efficiency..
During severe storms, sunlight is usually minimal and your solar panels not putting any amps into your batteries. Wind usually is greater in storms and a wind generator or two can take up the slack nicely.
A 400 watt marine wind generator can be purchased for around 700.00 us. Yearly removal and a little paint is all of the maintenance required.

Yearly removal and a little paint is all of the maintenance required. Having both solar and wind is the ticket to life off of the grid.. FYI, wind generators have their own safeties for overcharging, and shutting off, so don't hook them through your solar charge controller. Just hook them direct to your batteries.

I am totally solar w/ a generator backup
