Meet the Hybrid WindPalm by NewWorldWind. At first glance, it looks like a modern metal tree. But this is not a decorative structure. It is a compact power plant designed to generate electricity from both wind and sunlight.
A Tree-Shaped Electricity Production System
The structure uses 3 to 5 steel trunks and branches that hold multiple leaf-shaped turbines called Aeroleaf. Each leaf is a small vertical wind turbine that spins even in low winds. On top of the branches are thin photovoltaic petals that collect solar energy. This combination allows the system to produce power during the day and night.
Designed for Public and Private Spaces
The Hybrid WindPalm is designed for roadsides, public areas, and private gardens. It does not use large spinning blades and does not create loud noise. Instead, it quietly generates clean energy exactly where it is needed without requiring wide open land.
Power Output and Hybrid Generation
The hybrid version produces between 5.4 kW + 432 Wc and 9.0 kW + 740 Wc. The photovoltaic petal is light and thin, weighing less than 800 grams and only 3 mm thick. This design helps the system capture sunlight efficiently while keeping the structure balanced.
The WIND PALM 30 A Hybrid Model
The high-end WIND PALM 30 A Hybrid model stands 8.8 meters tall with a diameter of 7.8 meters. It includes 30 Aeroleaf wind turbines and 20 solar petals. Each Aeroleaf produces 300 W, and each solar petal produces 36 Wc, giving a maximum power output of 9720 W. The total system weight is around 2490 kg.
Electrical System and Installation
The electrical cabinet includes a battery, hybrid inverter, and essential safety systems such as fuse wire, switchgears, a lightning conductor, and an isolation switch required for commissioning. The system is built to operate safely while delivering continuous renewable energy.
Cost and Purpose
The Hybrid WindPalm costs approximately โฌ37,500, or around US$44,039. It is designed as a compact, quiet, and visually appealing way to generate renewable electricity using both wind and solar power in urban and landscaped environments.
