Building your own wind turbine generator is no small task. Wiring the DC motor to the rest of your renewable energy system requires advanced knowledge and experience with electrical systems and involves connecting several different components to your turbine. Depending on your skill level, experience with electronics and the size of your system, it may take anywhere from 2 to 3 full days of work to complete the wiring process.

Screw on 12-gauge electrical wiring to the DC motor. Some DC motors will have output ports that easily attach to wiring, however, you may also need to solder stripped wire ends to the motor. To solder two wires together, cross both wire tips, which should have already been stripped with a wire stripper, and wrap them around each other so that the joined wires are not much larger than the individual wires. Heat the exposed wires with a soldering iron and apply solder until the joint is covered. Heat adhesive lined shrink tubing so that it is wrapped securely around the joint. The 12-gauge wiring should be long enough to reach to the deep-cycle battery bank. Connect the black wire to the positive DC motor terminal and connect the white wire to the negative terminal. The green wire should be connected to the tower as a ground. Wrap electrical tape around the terminals to provide additional protection.
