Wind plus solar panels together for residential

eeinke

Does anyone know if you can get small wind turbine with solar panels for roof fitting of residential house? Is it possible to have both together.

As far as I know a wine turbine cannot be installed onto the roof or structure of a house due to vibration and noise issues. But if the turbine is sited elsewhere then there is no issue with combining both systems into a DC battery or direct to an inverter.

The Victron community often have good examples of this:

Here's an all in one kit I was looking at. I think you'd probably want to add more solar panels, not sure if its possible. Cannot find any info on installers for turbines

Reading recently that they have made major advances in turbine for homes. It exceeds solar. Would make a great addition to a pv system. Should give good generation all year round.

Maths don't add up. They require serious maintenance, create noise/vibration and actual continuous wind to generate electricity.

All those companies selling vertical turbines and residential solutions have yet to produce anything resembling ROI. They are trying to sell the idea, not the reality.

If you live up in the hills, are handy and can put up a large mast away from the hoise it's worth looking into. Otherwise put the money into batteries or more solar.
