ECO-WORTHY 400W Wind Turbine Generator Power Kit (New Upgrade) with 40A PWM Solar Wind Hybrid Controller for Home/Monitoring/Streetlight/Boat/Solar Wind System

This review is for 3 ECO-WORTHY products that I ordered at once for my off-grid tiny home/cabin. - ECO-WORTHY 400W Solar Kit with All-in-one Inverter - ECO-WORTHY 400W Wind Turbine Power Kit - ECO-WORTHY Water-Pump As a novice in off-grid living, I have now learned this was a huge and costly mistake to have put all my eggs in the ECO-WORTHY basket. 1- Tech/Customer Support: They are EXTREMELY difficult to reach. There is only 1or 2 reps for the whole company. It took me 2 days of repeatedly calling to finally get someone. 2- THE PRODUCTS ARE NOT GOOD QUALITY a- For the 400 W SOLAR KIT WITH ALL-IN-ONE INVERTER, even with 4X 50 Amp Batteries, the 24 V 1500W inverter doesn't charge the batteries enough to keep working thru the night, even though I am located in the Caribbean with constant sunshine throughout the day and have no obstructions or trees to the panels watsoever. All Im running is a small fridge, and laptop charger and a wifi router. It also makes a really LOUD AND ANNOYING BEEPING sound when the batteries are low, so you have no other choice but to get out of bed to shut it down. My neighbor lent me an 12 V 800W Victron Inverter to help me out, and with the same 400W panels and 4 batteries, it got me through the night with no problem. b- I then bought the 400W WIND TURBINE thinking it would help keep my batteries charged at night since I am located on a hill facing the ocean and I have a lot of constant wind. FIRST OF ALL, the instruction manual for this product is probably the WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN for any product. So you better know what you are doing, because as I mentioned earlier, tech support can't be reached easily. But even after somehow succeeding in installing it, the blades don't turn quickly enough even when faced with very strong gusts of wind. So once again I am faced with another ECO-WORTHY DUD. c- The DEEP WELL WATER PUMP. BEWARE!! Even though it is sold as a kit with just one 100W solar panel, IT WILL NOT WORK! You need at least 2 X 100W panels in order for it to work. Also, be aware that there is no OFF/ON switch. The only way to turn it off is to disconnect the cable from the panel. If you need the panel to work at night, you'll need to connect it to a battery. In conclusion, I regretfully will no longer purchase ANYTHING from this company or brand. I will instead go for more reputable brands even if the prices are higher.

This is my first ever product review just can't know truth and not share. I read reviews mostly after I think I was sure the product wasn't any good. So I set up the turbine on metal work bench and secured it to the table with rubber isolator mount. Connected all wiring from turbine to controller to 2 lifep04 battery bank at 12 volts. Battery bank fully charged to 13.62 volts and rested. Turbine needed higher wind to start up. Ran test with 15 mile hour wind half of the rated speed. Test showed 15 mil/hr wind produced 290 rpm shaft rotation. Power generated was 14 volts at .3 amp. The turbine was shook quite a bit. If I didn't secure the tail it would have shattered blades on table. Think it's not safe believe the blades will shatter in no time and could hurt some one. I shut down the test left every thing connected to battery bank and controller. 2 Battery bank at at 13.62 volts and let sit. 12 hours later battery bank was down to 13.35 volts. So the controller is drawing .6 volts from the battery bank every 24 hours. that explains why having it in action outdoors my battery bank drained to 10.7 in a week with nothing drawing off the battery. I had to by a charger for the battery bank because turbine couldn't produce enough power to run it's own controller. Worthless to me! To be fair I will use the money to buy there solar panels and at least produce real power. Hope this helped like I said first review every but this really frustrated me and wasted time and money.

The wind turbine has potential but I can't really recommend it if someone doesn't have at least 12mph winds or above consistently. My wind speeds have been unusually low for the season, and it was just a yard ornament until I upgraded it with a MarsRock 5-blade hub and MarsRock Deltawind blades. This brought the start up speed down to around 5-7mph. I'll admit, I'm novice when it comes to wind turbines but this was an inexpensive introduction to wind generation for a company that I have already had good experience with their solar products. The controller on the other hand I am Not a fan of. The solar side of it is comical, one being a PWM, but its inability to handle more than 27voltsdc VOC on a 12 voltsdc system means that even with Eco-Worthy's 100w bi-facial setting at 24voltsdc VOC you have to run the panels in parallel if you want to utilize the capacity of the controller. With 4 100w bi-facial panels in parallel and Ideal light conditions the most input I saw through this controller was 180watts. Compared to 4 identical panels ran in series right next to them ran through an Epever Tracer at 96voltsdc VOC where I routinely saw 300-360watts. The wind side if the controller seems alright, having the rectifier and dump load integrated and parameters that are user adjustable with the interface, but time will tell since as stated above I have had low seasonal wind speeds and it has gotten limited usage. So I guess as an overall I can't recommend this, mainly because of the controller. The turbine is well built, and the aftermarket options are available if low wind speed start up is desired, but the solar is a joke.

The turbine was fairly well made and the controller was very versatile and was functioning normally. My dislike is that in 20 to 25 mph wind the output was around 1 Amp, or about 15 watts Another thing is that the wind-vane fin seems a little small, or, too close to the body as the turbine would sometimes spin completely around, stopping the fan.

I purchased this unit for a friend attempting an off grid lifestyle. I chose this unit because in the description it had features I preferred over other cheaper models. The pictures showed a tail fin pointing down and cooling vents behind the rotor/stator, also the mounting method appeared to not need any metal fabrication. It had a bolt on method for attaching to a pole. I received a unit identical to the $139 model I was also considering. The Box was previously opened, damaged and did not contain the hybrid controller. It also requires welding for mounting the unit, which is awfully hard to do in an off grid situation. I am a welder, and could do it off site, but its not the point. I have reached out for a solution and they told me this was the new design....... If it was the new design why would they get rid of more advance features? In any case I requested a return and they have pushed back saying it is the model I ordered. I feel I may need to address this with amazon to get anywhere. I will keep this updated as I go through the process.
