Compact hybrid micro power plants for all year-round sustainable energy generation based on wind and solar

Introduction
The hybrid micro power plants developed by the Swiss company aim to offer the most effective way to become carbon neutral and energy self-sufficient. It combines wind and solar energy with the necessary technology in one device to generate green energy all year round. It can easily be installed on roof tops of buildings, like homes, farms and offices but also on a mast in wind-prone areas.
The solar panels are installed on a wooden static console, on top the Swiss company places a vertical axis wind turbine, and underneath the electronics that ensure an optimal electricity generation when the sun shines and/or the wind blows.
The main benefits in general are that the Swiss hybrid micro power plants can optimally generate green energy 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Product details
Their innovative products combine sophisticated high performance wind dual turbines and state-of-the-art solar technology for alternative power generation. The turbine combines two physical principles for efficient wind power generation to enable a wide range of wind speeds. The wooden support structure - for the solar panels as well wind turbine - developed by the Swiss company and optimized for weight as well as stiffness, makes a positive CO2 contribution. The flexible mounting system of the solar panels allows a free choice of suppliers, dimensions and power. Also, the exchange of the panels in case of spare parts or a new system is thus problem-free ensured.
Most of their products come ready to install from their warehouse. The product just needs to be lifted up the roof with a crane or lifting system, and connected to the grid by an electrician.

Advantages and Innovations

- Wind and sun together can generate green energy 365 days a year, at night, in winter and in snow
- Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) do not have to adjust to the wind direction and have higher efficiency in turbulent winds than horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT). At low altitude, the wind is usually very gusty.
- The wooden support structure developed by the Swiss company and optimized in terms of weight and rigidity makes a positive contribution to CO2 (low CO2 footprint and little gray energy).
- Power supply can be guaranteed in remote locations, avoiding the transport of diesel or gasoline to the site, thus avoiding a lot of energy and CO2 emissions.
- When combining wind and solar power, fewer storage batteries are needed to achieve the same level of self-sufficiency, resulting in less critical material needed.
- With only 4 square meter footprint, they provide the highest power per m2.

Target customers
The offer is uniquely positioned to reach a wide variety of customer segments:
- Owners of building in wind-prone areas that want to generate own clean energy: home owners, farms, mountain restaurants and remote buildings
- Large real estate / office owners who need to reduce their carbon footprint
- Ski-resorts and others similar infrastructures that want to create a greener image
- Gas stations on high ways that want to use green energy to fuel electric cars

partner search
The Swiss company is a scale-up that, engineers and assembles its products in Switzerland.
In order to grow, they need distribution partners, invest in engineering and sales experts, and be able to deliver according to customer needs. Outside investors will help them deliver their goals faster.
A second, or alternative, regional wind turbine supplier will also help them shorten the supply lead time and thus reduce cash stuck in transition.
