Soleolico hybrid wind-solar system integrates solar panels into turbine blades and increases energy production
The hybrid energy system of the Spanish startup Soleolico is a wind turbine with photovoltaic panels built into its blades. The integration of ultra-lightweight solar panels from wind turbines is achieved through the use of a patented magnetic system that maximizes energy recovery. The system also has the ability to absorb CO2 and is suitable for distributed generation, power lines and large-scale applications.
The Soleolico wind-photovoltaic system represents a significant advance in renewable energy technology. It integrates ultra-lightweight solar panels from the Spanish manufacturer Izpitek into wind turbine blades, or “sails” in Soleolico terminology. These sails are oriented downwind using a patented magnetic system that optimizes energy recovery.
The system has a unique coating with technology that absorbs CO2, purifying the air we breathe and generating clean energy 24 hours a day. This innovative feature and the system’s wind power output, which boasts a 25% higher performance than existing wind turbines, sets Soleolico’s technology apart in the renewable energy industry.
Compared to other similar distributed generation wind photovoltaic systems on the market, the Soleolico system is more profitable for similar investments. This is largely due to its excellent wind power. In addition, when Soleolico systems are installed next to each other, the feedback effect can increase efficiency by about 15%.
Another distinctive feature of the Soleolico system is its adaptability. It is an optimal and versatile hybrid generation solution suitable for self-consumption, distributed generation, or in grid-injected generation parks.
