Re: A project crying out to be done!
Thanks for those replies so far. You're already chipping away at my ignorance, and it all seems do-able! I'll get back to you, Countrypaul re the WT output. Marcus, re using the WT to heat the DHW tank, I'd looked at that but there's not a spare element in the tank, and it would need a heat dump in ...

I'm sitting on an opportunity here, and wasting money! I have a 2.5kW Proven wind turbine (giving 240V), lying idle since changing my house heating system; a mains connected 11kW Ecodan ASHP, and am collecting a plug-in hybrid car next week.

So it's on its back as there's nowhere for the power to go, unless grid connected - and I'd not p...

Powering my HP from my WT.
Hi. I've got a 240v AC 2.5kW Proven WT which is in situ, but now redundant as I've changed my heating system. It's lying on its back while the wind whistles over it, its energy wasted. Heating is now provided by a Mitsubishi Ecodan 11.2kW A2W heat pump. How can I use power from the WT to contribute ...
