So we shipped a marine-grade windmill down, and got it installed this past weekend. Our inverter guy came out to set it up to charge the batteries connected to our inverter.
Someone here on DR1 had warned that we needed quite a wind to move it, and they're right. So far it's spun around a few times [it rotates based on where the wind comes from], but no way is it spinning all day, not even close. We always have a brisk wind at the back of our house, but some gigantic mango trees [we think] on our neighbor's property might be blocking some of it.
Might have been an expensive experiment.
