    I’m using microinverters which are grid-tied, they stop prodicing AC power when the grid goes down, for safety reasons. I will move these to the AC branch of the battery backed Victron modular system (building that in 1-2 years) which is island-capable, so that part requires no modification.

    The problem with residential wind is that it never EROIs due to physics scaling. You need MW scale facilities in suitable locations to EROI.

    There is some small use case from DIY wind systems made from recycled components in coastal areas, since these are complementary to PV and can improve the duty cycle of backup diesel in insular installations. No point in that for grid-tied setups.
