  Solar-Wind Hybrid Systems
-------------------------------------------------
 
-------------------------------------------------

Overview

 

  

Sun and wind power provides a reliable and efficient source of renewable energy. We have developed a proprietary system that converts solar and wind energy into DC and AC by integrating solar panels with the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) or Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) system.

Our HAWT and VAWT solar-wind hybrid systems range from a 500watts to 3MW. The choice of HAWT or VAWT, and the complementing mono or poly solar panels is dependent on the terrain and the proximity of structures like trees and buildings.

The benefits of solar-wind hybrid systems are similar for all system sizes and locations. Key benefits include:

  • 20-50% reduction in initial capital cost.

  • Battery based renewable energy systems are 20% more efficient if the power is used as it is being produced. The efficiency of our solar-wind hybrid system is increased by combining wind which is operational 24 hours a day.

  • Using energy as it is being created reduces cycling in the battery that will enhance battery life.

  • Multiple renewable energy sources require a smaller battery bank while ensuring 24 hour power.

  • Hybrid systems allow for larger variations in average wind speeds. Wind turbines become viable in areas with wind speeds as low as 3m/s.
