We are getting to the "install passive electricity generators" stage of our preparation for
live-aboard (exciting
)
We plan to have 2 x 80 w
solar panels plus 1 smallish
wind generator (Rutland 914?).
The question is would we be better getting
a) 1 large voltage
regulator / controller to deal with all 3 items, or
b) 2 smaller regulators, 1 for the
solar panels, 1 for the
wind generator, or
c) 3 smaller regulators, 1 for each item?
By better I mean both in terms of efficiency of
charging, cost and also
reliability / redundancy.
Thanks for your input.
