I'm running a 12V system, with 760Ws of solar panels, a 1500W inverter, with 3 220AH batteries. So a very small system compared to most here in Australia - especially off the grid. Unfortunately my wind turbine has got a problem and is not providing any power to the system. Problem is I have to get it down from my 11meter high tower - very scary. Then I think the regulator needs replacing. I have a friend who got it up there who will get it down when he next visits! Let me know if you want more details. regards, Julie Hi Wim,

A for the pond - No I don't have mains water yet at the farm but it looks like a possibility in 2011. Then all I have to do is get the time to create one. :-) Hi Lynn,

My father has just purchased a piece of land that we are trying to turn into an organic farm. There is no power and we also have no running water. The power company told us we have to pay for the powerline (about 500 meters) and the electric posts just to bring electricity to the farm. I\'d like to know more about your wind turbine and the solar cells. Hoping we\'d be able to duplicate your self sufficient system. Thanks a lot. Hi Julie,
