10 yrs of
live aboard solar &
wind
Spend your money on the 1 system that will charge
Your batteries the most ie solar 3-4 stage regulator
Use basic 240 &.
Alternator charging
It won't matter that your batteries aren't 100%
Today because tomorrow your
Solar &
wind will do it.
90% of the time or better
Yes you can dump your excess power
To a water heating element
Slow to heat by virtue of its design BUT POSSIBLE
Water heating elements can be made to
Your specs 12,24,110,240volt
At a somewhat reasonable cost
(talk to Woody hotwater systems Brisbane)
As can custom hotwater
tanks
Watermaker would not be viable
As a automated use on dump loads
This needs to be manual system
Some solar regs have the ability to dump
Current
It may be possible run your
wind generator
Through your solar reg, & use it's excess as
Well & most are user configurable
You have design your system from scratch
To do this so you can make sure
ie. buy the right regulator & wind gen
Get a system that is automatic it is
Very easy to fry you batteries with a
Manual control
Without fastidious monitoring
Over spec your reg by 20%+
They can run hot
GOOD LUCK
