Thank you David, that's really helpful. what do you mean by dump load though?  My solar panels only kick out as much power as they are asked for by the inverter, will a turbine be different?  Re. Wind profile, its all or nothing here, gale force winds or dead lol

Just found this forum we're completely off grid and running on solar power, it's a 48v system which is great during the summer (we're in southern Spain), but not so great in the winter as there's little sun and a LOT of wind. I was thinking about adding a wind turbine to the system, as the prices are so low now.  We have a hybrid MPPT inverter charger but from what I've read on this forum so far, I need a separate charge controller connected to the battery bank for the turbine?   If so, would pwm be OK next to a mppt? In our climate the sun and wind are quite separate so they shouldn't clash much. To give a bit more info, we typically get around 800w from the solar array and the turbine I'm looking at is also 800w max power.  Thanks in advance
