Hello Guys, Does anyone have an idea of how wind generators are Taxed? are they tax exempt ... Am planning to bring in one ..Am thinking 600w to 1Kw for a start the later comes with 4 100AH Batteries, I think this would offset my power bills big time ... Aki I might need your expertise here.. -- Watson wanjohi kambo

Watson haven't dealt with those locally.....<read Kenya> On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 10:18 AM, Watson Kambo <wkwats@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi watson, the turbines have no VAT. You only pay clearing and clearing charges, inbox me details of what you plan to get. Might want one or two units. On 1/25/10, Watson Kambo <wkwats@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello good people, This is my calculation, correct me if am wrong; my bill for last month was 180 units this means 180 Kwh, so this means 1Kw of power for 180 Hours on that month, so if I get the 600W version that comes with two 100AH batteries then; this means if the batts are fully charged I get 100 AH * 24 V = 2400 Wh (2.4 KWh), this means if my wind generator can fully charge the two batts for 100hours meaning 100/30 about 3.3333 hours a day in the month I do not need to pay anything to KPLC ... at least in Theory ... But again I need to factor in lots of things ... .. 2010/1/25 [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com>

The calculations are more or less accurate in theory, however, in practise, and assuming your wind speed is within the operational speeds for the device, multiply the power rating by a factor of 0.55, thats about as much power you can get at any given time. The indicated 100ah on the batteries is for a full discharge, given deep cycle batteries, you need to charge and discharge them to within 80 percent, so again work with 20ah for the batteries. Then other than your consumption in terms of number of units per month, youll need to calculate your peak power. Calculate how much current you draw when everything electrical is on at the same time, that way, you dont have nasty surprises when you try ironing when the phone is charging and the fridge on. All in all, with wind as with other alternatives, store as much as you can when youre producing it. On 1/26/10, Watson Kambo <wkwats@gmail.com> wrote:
