A system integrating both wind turbine and photovoltaic technologies offers a method for generating electricity from renewable resources. It combines a small wind turbine, which converts wind energy into electrical power, with solar panels, which convert sunlight into electricity. This integrated setup is often designed for residential or small-scale commercial applications.
Such a hybrid system presents advantages in terms of reliability and energy security. Wind and solar resources often complement each other; wind speeds might be higher during periods of reduced sunlight, and vice versa. This complementarity can lead to a more consistent power supply compared to relying on a single renewable energy source. Historically, these integrated approaches have been employed in remote locations where grid access is limited or unavailable, offering a self-sufficient power solution.
