Any of you ever hook this up. http://www.motorwavegroup.com/new/motorwind/it1.html

It says you can't tie to grid because it would be too costly to buy the inverter and amount of car batteries you would need. Worst case you could just put up a panel and run a few circuits here and there and maybe paint the rec. green. Use them only for non-critical loads and possibly pull out some basic lighting circuits from main panel and put in this one. Supposedly, you can pay for cost in 1 yr. $4/watt v.s. /$100/watt for solar. You can run as many car batteries as you wish in parallel (600watt per battery I think)

My contractor is going green around here and we gotta jump on the bandwagon....

Looks interesting. I know that the sunlight charts are similar in the Midwest to Southwest, but I don't know about average wind speeds. But those inverters and transfer switches do cost some dough.
