Adding wind generator to system

[asdex]

Hi, I'm looking at a second hand 1kw 24v wind generator. Can this be easily added to use with the Midnite controller controlling my 2kw solar panels? I plan to have a 24 volt 400AH battery bank. The wind generator comes with it's own regulator and dump load.
Thanks,

two charging sources can be connected to a battery bank.    But you need quality controllers.  Most dump load controllers don't have nice programmable settings, so getting  it to play nice with the Midnight may be tough.   And they just let the turbine spin, and wear itself out (like a bike carrier on a car on the interstate, with the wheels spinning in the 70mph airstream). A controller that would do electronic breaking, instead of a high wattage dump load, gives you more life hours on the turbine.

Hi, thanks for your answer. I may have to look into it a bit more. I checked your pictures on your Facebook site and see we have been to Willits on our USA roadtrip. Also watched those gunfights in Oatman.
Cheers,
