Large wind blade surfaces embedded with flexible Solar Panel can generate more energy out of the same system. For example, Shrouded design type with flexible solar panel has been shown in the diagram. Depending up on the area of wind turbine blade either horizontal or vertical or shrouded, the same system can generate more power output.
Also, such systems’
