Hello all, This is a run down on a small off grid system that I installed to run a refrigerator, a freezer and a couple of circuits in my house. The rest of the house is grid tied, but my system is not. The system consists of a Freedom II 2K wind turbine, six 250 watt Renogy solar panels, A Coleman Air 440 HVA controller for the wind turbine, a Midnite classic 150 for the solar panels.These controllers are connected in parallel to the 24 volt battery bank. , I am using an Aims 4K inverter, eight 6 volt Trojan T150 clone 6 volt batteries wired in a 24 volt config. I also have a small generator that runs to the Aims converter if for some reason I cant keep my batteries charged. That hasnt happened yet as we have alot of wind and alot of sun in Texas.

I am a newbie when it comes to alt energy and would welcome and constructive criticism or advise that yall might offer.
