Aiming to change the renewable energy market, a designer has created equipment equipped with a solar panel that also uses mini wind turbines capable of powering an entire house.

A solar panel equipped with mini wind turbines, similar to a wall, was created by an American designer, bringing an innovation capable of generating renewable energy in small spaces. Joe Doucet, creator of the innovation, developed the solar panel that has rotating blades, which rotate individually to generate wind energy in homes and buildings.

Wind energy currently does not have a large “arsenal” of products, although several wind turbine technologies are under development or have a restricted market. Therefore, Joe's creation can help this market, both for its innovative aesthetics and its functionality and cutting-edge technology.

The solar panel, which was developed by the American, uses the wind to move all the mini wind turbines, which are rotating structures aligned individually.

It is through the mechanical energy of the movement of these “blades” that electrical energy is formed, through a small generator, also implemented in the panel. All the renewable energy that is generated can be used immediately or stored in a battery, which is fixed to the wall next to the solar panel.

New renewable energy technology can power an entire home

The grid of this solar panel is made up of square panels that rotate along 25 axes at the same time, but each one has a wind turbine fixed on the vertical rods.

According to the creator of the invention, who even made a prototype of the project, only one of these walls is capable of providing enough renewable energy to supply the demand of an American home. Typically, homes in the United States consume an average of just over 10.000 kW per year, so equipment generates something around that to meet this demand.

Another factor that draws attention is that all renewable energy production occurs without using water or generating polluting gases that contribute to global warming. The solar panel with wind turbines occupies a small space, and also contributes to a more attractive environment, being a great “clean” decoration option, which is capable of generating renewable energy.

portable solar plant

One of the startup, also North American, launched a product known as “portable power plant”, which uses sunlight to generate renewable energy and eliminates the use of polluting fuels.

The device generates energy capable of supplying the needs of a house for up to half a day. In addition, the device is capable of generating energy for up to 12 appliances at the same time, such as a computer, TV, camera and can also function as a kind of emergency battery for homes when there is a power outage, without the need for a noisy generator. polluting fuels.

The mini plant manages to reach 80% load in just one hour and in 1,6 hours it manages to complete 100%. Already out of the house, the device can be charged by a solar panel that guarantees a full charge in 8 hours.
