    after the motor is running ....only part throttle. This setup will put out 1200 watts without burning up the generator

    I also changed the charge controller from auto sweep to manual and set it at 67.0 volts

    That is the best use of a wind PMA I have seen so far.

    Solar hybrid gasoline generator, 7kw gas, 180 watts of solar, Morningstar 15 amp MPPT, group 31 AGM, 900 watt kisae inverter.

    Solar roof top GMC suburban, a normal 3/4 ton suburban with 180 watts of panels on the roof and 10 amp genasun MPPT, 2000w samlex pure sine wave inverter, 12v gast and ARB air compressors.
