I am new to this site and off-grid hybrid systems. I have an Air-X 400W 12 volt wind generator that I will have about 300 feet from my cabin and battery bank. Running the 12 volts that far would require expensive heavy gage wire to reduce the voltage drop. I am planning on having one battery near the tower base with a voltage sensitive relay to turn on and off an inverter that will convert 12V DC to 120V AC to power a charger for my battery bank at the cabin. The relay will cut off the inverter at 12.8 volts and turn it on at 13.7 volts therefore only charging my main battery bank when the generator is charging the battery at the tower. Does anyone see a problem with this approach other than the power cost of the inverter?
Thanks!
