hello
can i get some help with deciding wether i want a kid
i have a midnite classic 150 for my wind turbine and a separate system with 2 mppt controllers non midnite for 500 watt solar .
the 2 systems don't communicate with each other
the battery bank is 12 volt 500 amp.
when the battery bank is full the solar shuts off /switches to float
and the classic switches to dump load which is a water heating element 1000 watt through my inverter
when the the battery bank voltage drops below 13 volt the the dump load switches off, the pv array switches on again and the battery bank gets charged until it gets to
14.6 volt and so on
question: can i improve my system/are there benefits from having a kid or second classic.????
thank for any help
Since you already have one Classic then having a second Classic to deal with the 500watts of PVs would be a significant upgrade.
Reasons being that you could sync the Classics with follow me and have a WBjr connected to one of the Classics and perhaps get some better management of your battery charging.
Reporting should significantly improve too, mymidnite and the local app would give you a nice graphical time reporting and the local app dashboard a monitoring display.
The KID does not have any of these facilities yet so would probably not offer any advantage to your current setup.

Won't that halve your life expectancy?
