hours. The matter of equalisation is batter addressed by specialised
battery literature; not all batteries need equalisation; proper

Referring to a bankrupt PV company, a congressman condemned
“ideologically driven pursuit of unproven energy sources” and
advocated “market-based solutions”. In their comments the readers
pointed out that though the market mechanisms were important, the

people, not to short-sighted and heartless market.
The Turbine controller has also some features that were
created for the sake of customer convenience. It can indicate
the state of battery charge, the power coming from turbine, and
the operational mode being executed. It is possible to manually
initialise any of the described above modes, to switch between
them, and to quit any of them if necessary. Recognising the value
of hybrid system, Turbine controller also has a simple PV regulator
making combining wind and solar possible without a dedicated
(and expensive) PV controller.
