We recommend this package for homeowners
and small businesses that want protection from extended power
outages, but don't need a system as large as the 7.5 kW Home.Sure
system. This capability requires the addition of batteries and a
sophisticated inverter.
The Home.Sure system keeps the
batteries charged up and during an outage home power is supplied by
both the batteries and the wind turbines. In regular (non-outage)
operation any excess energy, once the batteries are charged, is sold
to the utility company or "stored" by utilities offering net
metering.
This package uses 64 ft towers because
this is the most common tower height for the XL.1 turbine. The
taller the tower the better and towers shorter than 64 ft. should
only be used in special circumstances. The Tubular Tilt-up towers
can be installed without concrete and they tilt-up after all the
assembly work is done on the ground.
The batteries are Trojan T-105's, a
workhorse of the home power industry. A total of eight individual
batteries are connected in two parallel strings of four batteries in
series (24 VDC nominal). This battery bank will support essential
loads (lights, radio, TV, refrigerator, freezer, water pump, and
blowers) for 4 - 12 hours without wind energy input. The OutBack
GTFX2524 sine-wave inverter provides 2.5 kW at 120 VAC (or 230 VAC,
50 Hz at 2.2 kW) and has enough surge capacity to start motors up to
~ 1 Hp. A back-up engine generator can be easily added.
In addition to the equipment costs
given below, a complete installation will typically include the
following costs: shipping, sales tax, permit costs, foundation and
anchoring, wire run, turbine and tower erection, battery racks or
vault, electrical hook-up, and inspection fees. Some homeowners
also incorporate a back-up gas, propane, or diesel generator into
the system for maximum protection.

We recommend this package for
homeowners and small businesses that want protection from
extended power outages. This capability requires the
addition of batteries and more sophisticated inverters.
The Home.Sure system keeps the
batteries charged up and during an outage home power is
supplied by both the batteries and the wind turbine. In
regular (non-outage) operation any excess energy, once the
batteries are charged, is sold to the utility company or
"stored" by utilities offering net metering. The
Guyed-Lattice tower is the least cost tower type and a 100
ft. tower is tall enough for most locations. Shorter towers
reduce performance and increase the payback time.
The batteries are Trojan
L-16's, the workhorse of the home power industry. A total
of 40 individual batteries are connected in five parallel
strings of eight batteries in series (48 VDC nominal). This
large battery bank will support essential loads (lights,
radio, TV, refrigerator, freezer, water pump, and blowers)
for two to seven days without wind energy input. The dual
Trace SW5548 sine-wave inverters provides 240 VAC (or 230
VAC, 50 Hz at 9 kW) with enough capacity to start difficult
motor loads. A back-up engine generator can be easily
added.

We recommend this package for village
power and larger remote home and facilities that need more than 500
kWh's of alternating current (AC) energy per month. These systems
are often retrofitted to existing diesel-only systems in order to
save fuel and provide 24-hour power.
The BWC Remote System stores excess
energy in batteries for use during low wind periods. It can also
charge the batteries from a back-up generator. With a back-up
generator the Remote System can provide reliable 24-hour power with
minimal attention from the operator. The Guyed-Lattice tower is the
least cost tower type and a 100 ft. tower is tall enough for most
locations. Shorter towers reduce performance. For locations where
crane access is not possible, the towers can be stacked using a
winch and davit system.

Hybrid wind & solar systems provide more
consistent year-round performance and reduce the need for back-up
generation. We highly recommend wind and solar hybrids for smaller
systems.
We recommend this package for homes,
schools, clinics and other smaller off-grid applications. These systems
are also easily retrofitted to existing diesel-only systems in order to
save fuel and provide up to 24-hour power.
The solar modules are Photowatt 24 VDC, 90
W modules designed to mount directly to the wind turbine tower. No
separate mounting structure is required. Two modules are used to
provide 180 W of solar capacity. The modules can be placed well above
the ground for security or to solve a shading problem. The XL.1's
PowerCenter provides voltage regulation and can handle up to 750 W of
solar.
The BWC Hybrid.System stores excess energy
in batteries for use during low wind periods. It can also charge the
batteries from a back-up generator. With a manually controlled back-up
generator the Hybrid.System can provide up to 24-hour/day power.

Shorter towers reduce performance. For locations where crane access is
not possible, the towers are available in 10 ft sections (as an added
cost option) which can be stacked using a winch and davit system.
2.6 kW is a good size for the PV array
because it provides a meaningful contribution to system performance
without driving the costs up too high. The PV array consists of 48 55W
modules, with two sub-arrays of 6 parallel strings of 4 modules in
series (48 VDC nominal). The PV modules are supported by eight ground
mounts holding six modules each.
The batteries are Trojan L-16's, the
workhorse of the home power industry. A total of 40 individual
batteries are connected in five parallel strings of eight batteries in
series (48 VDC nominal). This battery bank will typically support the
load for 1-2 days days without wind energy input or back-up power. The
dual Trace SW5548 sine-wave inverters provides 240 VAC (or 230 VAC, 50

We recommend this package for small scale
pumping applications and applications where both pumping and
electrification are required. Small wind pumping systems can be
combined with solar to provide the the more reliable performance of
hybrid systems.
The BWC Pump.System stores excess energy
in batteries for use during low wind periods. It can also charge the
batteries from a back-up generator (requires SB option). With a
manually controlled back-up generator the Remote.System can provide up
to 24-hour pumping and electrical power.
The Tubular Tilt-up towers can be
installed without concrete and they tilt-up after all the assembly work
is done on the ground. The 64 ft. tower in this package is the most
common height used with the XL.1 turbine. For sites with trees, taller
towers are recommended. These tower are available in heights up to 104
ft.
The batteries are Trojan T-105's, a
workhorse of the home power industry and an excellent value. A total of
four individual 6 volt batteries are connected in series to provide 24
VDC nominal. This battery bank will supply up to several days of power
without wind energy input. The 1,500 W Trace DR1524 modified-sine-wave
inverter provides 120 VAC, 60 Hz (or 230 V, 50 Hz) and includes
battery-charging and transfer relay functions. For 60 Hz applications,
a 120/240 VAC transformer may be needed to supply 240 VAC to the pump.
A back-up engine generator can be easily integrated, but it must be
manually started and stopped.
The listed submersible pump is a 3” dia.
Grundfos 22 SQ-120 pump that is capable of pumping up to 0.9 l/s (16 gpm)
at a total pumping head of 43 m (140 ft). The SQ centrifugal pumps
feature soft starting that overcomes the traditional start-up surge
problem with induction motors (problematic with static inverters) and
automatic “dry well” shutdown (and restart). This particular Grundfos
pump draws 0.82 kW (1.1 Hp), but pumps drawing from 1/3 Hp to 1.5 Hp at
60 Hz can be used with the Trace 1.5 kW inverter. Information on the SQ
line of Grundfos pumps is available by
clicking here. Other types and brands of pumps may be used, but you
must be careful about the ability of the inverter to start the pump.
Please contact Bergey Windpower for assistance choosing a pump for your
particular situation.
In addition to the equipment costs given
below, a complete installation will typically include the following
costs: shipping, sales tax, permit costs, foundation and anchoring
(some soil types), wire run, turbine and tower erection, battery racks
or vault, electrical hook-up, and pump on-off switch. Some users also
incorporate a back-up gas, propane, or diesel generator into the system
for extended periods of low wind speed. Your dealer or Bergey WindPower
can assist you in budgeting these additional costs. For budgeting
purposes, these costs typically range from $1,000 (customer installed,
no sales tax, etc) to $5,000 (Certified Dealer, sales tax, etc).
