As solar and wind is individually an intermittent source of energy, combining both increases opportunities to generate energy while reducing reliance on just one single source. The micro controller ensures system optimization and stability while improving overall efficiency as compared to individual systems. It is suited for a wide variety of applications such as residential, commercial or industrial use.

The system consists of a solar PV array, wind turbine generators and a micro controller which can include a battery storage module in a microgrid system or connected to the local power grid. It is enjoying popularity in seasonal temperate climate conditions where sunlight is not as readily available as tropical regions near the equator and where the changing of seasons provide a different source of renewable energy generation.
