Slipped my mind that you were in Texas. With a good wind pattern you
coual get along quite well. As a side note I calcualtedthe batteery drin
for that 220v/2.4amps and it comes to a 40 Amp draw on a 12 volt
Battery.
You will need to chart typical run time and size the Wind
Generator/Solar Panel combination carefully to keep the battery charged.
