Really interesting discussion. My only input, we have both a wind generator and solar panels. Given the option of a rethink, we would dump the wind generator and if feasible, increase the solar panel capacity.
Yes, this boat is in Portugal with plenty of solar radiation, which is nearly always available. Conversely, windy is a far less reliable source; nearly always too much or to little and that is before the noise factor.
I am considering solar panels to maintain the batteries on the boat in the UK, which spends much of it's time on a buoy but would never countenance another wind generator.
