Wind Solar Hybrid System
If you want to go completely off the grid, the cost of using a stand-alone wind turbine system will be much higher than a hybrid wind-solar system. A more economical approach is a 3:1 ratio. For example, a 3kw wind-solar hybrid system uses a 1kw wind turbine, a 2kw solar panel, and other accessories. In this way, the cost ratio will be reduced.
