Adding a wind generator. Need mounting info
We've been boondocking with solar and it works swell. We wanted to take advantage of the wind that is pretty constant and strong at a few places we stay. We got a 400W unit and it has a swivel flange ...

Also, I believe that there is now a new import tax on solar panels and they have gone up in price at least 30 to 50 dollars a panel. Two 100w panels are about 8.25 to 9 amps each with excellent sun for 16 and 1/2 to 18 amps total. So even if I don't get 400w from the generator, again, if I have 15 to 20 amps I'd be very satisfied. I am doing a test here where we are at as soon as I get the rest of the mounting mast finished. The drive on plate is a grand idea too. Planning on getting an anemometer and will do some Excel spreadsheet stuff to get a better Idea. I decided on 1 1/2" pipe for here for now. Anyone seriously looking to do this or wants to chat about it, PM me. Thanks everyone.
