Re: [electricboats] Recommendations for a windmill/charge controller?

I did some research several years ago into wind turbines. I was looking for something to charge my 1,000AH/48v LFP battery. I did find plenty to choose from - most were too large to mount on your boat. I’ll review my research to see if I can find something applicable to your boat. 


There are also hybrid controllers that handle both the solar and wind. In addition, you may need a dump load. If you have an electric hot water heater you can find a 48v element so you don’t throw away the extra energy. 

I found a 3kW unit for $400 including shipping at AliExpress. There are many to chose from.
