1. Operation and use
It´s certainly an advantage being able to use the renewable energy of both wind and
sun combined. One can charge his batteries making use of daylight and wind for 24
hours. Our hybrid charge controller is suitable for both sources, windpower and max.
550Wp (40A) solarpower  Hybrid-charge controller.
You can also charge the batteries of an electric vehicle with this unit.
Further applications are:
Any application without grid connection, research units, traffic management systems,
emergency systems, street lamps, billboard illumination, projects in developing
countries, wireless LAN access points, holiday homes with inverters for independent
provision of electricity, wherever there is no grid connection available or too
complicated to install.
The SILENTWIND is ultralight and aerodynamic, so that it is possible to connect
several windgenerators if your energy demand is high. As noise emission is very low
you can operate the SILENTWIND in neighbourhoods and on sailing yachts without
annoying your neighbours.
Our charge controller HYBRID 1000 is suitable for 12 and 24 volt usage and can be
connected to the SILENTWIND and solar panel.
Another advantage of the SILENTWIND is that it does not have any inbuilt
electronics which means that there is hardly any maintenance work on the mounted
windgenerator. The electric power is led down to the charge controller by 3 cables.
The hand laminated carbon fiber blades were successfully tested in a wind tunnel up
to wind speeds of 35m/s (63 knots) according to DIN EN 61400-2. Therefore you
need not worry about the SILENTWIND in any storm conditions. For maintenance
work there is an additional manual stop switch.
2. Safety instructions
Due to the high RPM and electric energy that windgenerators generate, use should
be made with caution. Therefore carefully read the following safety instructions.
2.1. Mechanical risks
For various reasons the turning rotor system must be handled with caution. You
cannot see the end of the blades in high wind speeds so you do not recognise the
inherent danger. Due to their aerodynamic shape the blades have very sharp edges
that may hurt you in high wind conditions.
Never ever try to touch the turning rotor system!
Never ever try to stop the turning rotor system manually!
Make sure that you install the windgenerator in a position where nobody can touch
the blades. Especially on boats ensure a sufficient height above deck.
The blades are produced from carbon fibre, which is extremely solid even in high
wind speeds. Therefore keep away from the turning blades in any case. However,
