What are the Benefits of Combining a Wind Power Generator with Solar Cells?

Article Category: Computers and Technology

Author Name: Jack Ryan

If you want to achieve a more regular power supply for your home using alternative energy sources, why not consider combining a wind power generator system with solar cells? This will not only allow you to produce power using these two renewable sources, but also allow you to continue producing energy when one source is unavailable. In winter, for example, while sunlight is weaker, the winds will be stronger, while in summer, sunlight is stronger while winds are weaker. A two-fold system may also allow you to enjoy cost efficiencies by sourcing them from one vendor, who may quote you a lower price than if you bought them separately.

Another benefit of combining a wind power generator with solar power is if you are forced to mount your wind turbine on your roof because zoning laws or other restrictions have prevented you from raising a tower high enough to capture sufficient wind to produce the energy that you need. While building-mounted turbines are more affordable than those mounted on towers, they normally do not produce as much electricity, requiring you to find some way to supplement it.

A third benefit of combining a wind power generator and solar energy is that you may no longer need to connect to the utility grid to get the extra power that you need. For many households living in isolated areas, connecting to the grid may be prohibitively expensive. An investment in a dual power system, while requiring high starting expenditures, will be more than offset by savings in energy bills over the life of the system. The life of a typical wind turbine is estimated at around twenty years, although some manufacturers claim lives of thirty years or more. Solar panels are also expected to last for at least twenty years; however, these panels do continue to produce energy even after two decades, but at a lower output estimated at around eighty percent of initial rated peak output.

You can extend the utility of the system even more by adding an engine generator as a backup in case neither solar nor wind energy is available. The generator is powered by gasoline and can also be used to recharge the batteries used to save energy produced by wind turbines and solar cells. And by using a generator, you can also reduce the size of the other components in the system since you will need less storage capacity. In a typical renewable energy system, for example, the battery bank is usually sized so as to store and supply enough energy for one to three days.

For homeowners who are concerned about the cost of installing this joint wind power generator-solar energy system, the Federal government offers a tax incentive that could help make the investment more reasonable. Homeowners installing qualified alternative energy systems are typically eligible for a 30|tax credit on the cost of the system. Expenditures eligible for the tax credit include labor costs for preparation, assembly and installation of the system as well as the costs of wiring to hook it to the house. In addition, there may be state-level incentives that you could also qualify for, depending on the type of system you re installing.
