I was reading about the windmill electric power, the windmill water pumps, the solar electric the battery backups and so - on and it dawned on me, to use a combination, to power a hybrid system.
:) So it works like this, the solar and wind systems work in tandem to charge the battery banks. Then the house water comes from an, up-hill located, large capacity storage tank (thanks rreidnauer). This is filled by the windmill water pump wich if you do the math the largest one can produce 1875 GPH (31.25 gpm) the overflow could be used to supply a low flow generator or some other appropriate generator / alternator / whatever. all this supplies constant power to your inverter and your batteries. the inverter/charger would act as a buffer between the charging systems and battery backups. ok now tweak the system with your suggestions. all suggestions are valid lets build the most cost efficient dynamic system possible. target is to become independent from the grid. :twisted:
