SkyWind NG + Solar · Maximum Self-Sufficiency
Hybrid Solar Wind System –
Maximum Energy Independence.
A hybrid solar wind system combines photovoltaic solar panels with a SkyWind NG wind turbine to deliver clean electricity year-round. Solar covers summer peaks; wind covers winter lows. Together, they achieve self-sufficiency rates that neither technology can reach alone.
The Case for Hybrid
Why Solar and Wind Work Better Together
Solar panels and wind turbines have naturally complementary generation profiles. Solar excels on long summer days with clear skies — exactly when wind speeds are often lower. Wind turbines perform best in autumn and winter — precisely when solar panels produce less energy.
This seasonal complementarity means a hybrid system generates electricity more evenly throughout the year. Add battery storage and the combination covers the gaps that neither technology can fill alone — cloudy winter days, calm summer evenings, and everything in between.
Research consistently shows that hybrid solar-wind systems achieve significantly higher self-sufficiency rates than single-source systems at the same total installed capacity. For homeowners and businesses serious about energy independence, the hybrid approach is the rational choice.
Components
Building Your Hybrid Solar Wind System
Every hybrid system is tailored to the site, energy demand and budget. Here are the key building blocks we work with.
SkyWind NG Wind Turbine
The core wind generation unit. Available in 1kW and 2kW versions, compact enough for residential and commercial rooftops or freestanding masts.
View SkyWind NG →Solar Fence / PV Panels
Photovoltaic generation from a solar fence along your property boundary or conventional rooftop panels. The solar fence uniquely combines fencing with energy generation.
View Solar Fence →Battery Storage
Stores surplus wind and solar energy for use whenever needed — at night, during calm spells or when demand peaks. Sized to your consumption and desired autonomy days.
Hybrid Inverter
Manages power flow between wind, solar, battery and grid. Ensures maximum self-consumption and intelligent switching between sources for continuous supply.
Year-Round Performance
How Solar and Wind Complement Each Other
Spring
Rising solar production with spring storms boosting wind output. Battery fills quickly and system often exports surplus.
Summer
Solar dominates. Long daylight hours and strong sun deliver maximum PV output. Wind contributes on overcast days.
Autumn
Wind generation rises as solar output begins to decline. The hybrid system maintains strong combined output.
Winter
Wind reaches its highest output. Without a turbine, winter is when solar-only systems struggle most. The hybrid fills this critical gap.

From Idea to Working Hybrid System
Every hybrid system is different. We start with your specific site, energy goals and budget — and build a system that truly works.
FAQ
Hybrid Solar Wind System – Questions Answered
What is a hybrid solar wind system?+
A hybrid solar wind system combines photovoltaic solar panels with one or more wind turbines, typically alongside battery storage. Each technology compensates for the other's weaknesses: solar delivers most energy in summer and daytime; wind contributes more in winter, at night and on overcast days. Together they achieve far higher year-round self-sufficiency than either alone.
What are the main components of a hybrid solar wind system?+
A typical hybrid system includes: one or more wind turbines (e.g. SkyWind NG 1kW or 2kW), solar panels (rooftop PV, solar fence or open-area modules), a battery storage system to store surplus energy, an inverter/charge controller to manage power flows, and an energy management controller to optimise the combined system output.
How much self-sufficiency can I achieve with a hybrid solar wind system?+
Well-designed hybrid systems can achieve 70–90%+ self-sufficiency in many European locations — significantly higher than solar-only (typically 30–50%) or wind-only systems. The exact figure depends on your site's solar and wind resources, battery capacity and energy consumption patterns.
Is a hybrid solar wind system more cost-effective than solar alone?+
For properties with good wind exposure, yes — a hybrid system delivers a better return than adding more solar capacity. The capital cost is higher than solar alone, but the higher year-round generation and greater self-sufficiency typically result in shorter payback periods, particularly as grid electricity prices rise.
What is the difference between the kombiloesungen page and this page?+
Our Kombilösungen page covers our full portfolio of combined energy solutions in German, including solar fences, photovoltaics, SkyWind and storage. This page specifically addresses the hybrid solar wind system concept for international customers searching in English, with a focus on combining the SkyWind NG wind turbine with solar panels.
Can I add a hybrid solar wind system to an existing PV installation?+
Yes — adding a SkyWind NG wind turbine to an existing solar PV system is one of the most popular upgrades. The turbine can share the existing inverter infrastructure or use its own dedicated inverter, depending on your system design. We assess compatibility with your existing installation before recommending a configuration.
How does a hybrid system handle excess energy generation?+
Surplus electricity generated by your hybrid system can be: stored in a battery for later use, fed into the grid for export tariff payment, diverted to a water heater or other thermal storage, or a combination of the above. We design the energy management strategy to maximise your benefit based on local grid tariffs and your usage patterns.
