Solving the “Nighttime Energy Gap”-Wind-Solar Hybrid System
Solar stops at dusk, but wind speeds in many regions actually increase after sunset due to thermal pressure shifts. By pairing our HAWT or VAWT turbines with your existing PV panels, you create a dual-source feed. When the sun goes down, the wind takes over, keeping your deep-cycle batteries topped up and preventing deep discharge cycles that kill battery life.
Engineering Edge: Why Elege Specs Matter in the Field
Generic turbines often fail because they require too much wind to start. We’ve focused our engineering on the Low Start-up Threshold:
- Cut-in Speed: Our blades begin capturing energy at just 2.0m/s. In the field, this means hours of extra trickle-charging that other turbines miss.
- Acoustic Profile: For residential use, noise is a dealbreaker. Our maglev generators and carbon-fiber reinforced blades keep noise under 40dB—essentially silent against the background wind.
- Hybrid Logic: Our controllers manage the different voltage curves of wind and solar simultaneously, preventing overcharge while maximizing the input from both sources.
Quick Spec Match for Off-Grid Projects
| Project Type | Recommended Hardware | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Marine/Sailboats | 400W – 600W VAWT | Corrosion-proof, 360° wind capture |
| Remote Living | 2kW – 5kW HAWT | High ROI, standard pole mount |
| Industrial/Telecom | 10kW – 20kW Systems | Heavy-duty 24/7 reliability |
Note: System performance depends heavily on local wind maps. Our engineers can provide a site-specific simulation based on your GPS coordinates.
