This NPower complete power package is intended to be used as a freestanding unit.

The manufacturer does not recommend or supply a mounting system for roof tops, it will vibrate at high wind speeds.

NPower Expert
The NPower Complete 1800 Watt Wind Power Package consists of the wind turbine, the batteries, and the Xantrex Power Hub. The maintenance for the wind turbine itself would consist of an inspection of the blades and electrical connections about every six months. The manufacturer suggests replacing the blades every 5 years. Replacing batteries will vary depending the the depth of charge and number of charge cycles. 1 charge cycle = fully charging, then depleting. If fully charged, then depleted 1/2 way, if would = 1/2 charge cycle. With this battery, capacity will diminish to 50% after 500 cycles, and about 30% after 1200 cycles. In most cases, batteries last 3-5 years. The Power Hub itself requires virtually no maintenance. Simply keep clear of dust build-up and an internal fuse may need to be changed if the unit is overloaded.

There would be no limit on how many wind turbines you could add to the NPower Complete 1800 Watt Wind Power Package. Each turbine comes with its own charge controller to ensure the batteries would not be overcharged.
