Nowadays, we cannot seemingly get enough of green energy. We want to put solar panels in every project. Wind turbines are used but are less popular due to their complexity and the winds required for operation. Whatever the method of implementation, using green energy is a good thing. Bil Becker and his firm Aerotecture International, Inc., developed a new product that combined wind and solar energy into one unit. Even more impressive, this hybrid unit is aesthetically attractive and could be easily integrated into any design.
The machine could be placed vertically and requires very little wind for operation. When no wind is available, the solar part of the unit is activated. This machine can also work under very high winds where most propeller type machines must be stopped. Ultimately, with these new units, you can collect energy in any kind of weather.
You can see these installed hybrid units on the Sloan Valve Company building in Franklin Park, IL.
