Problem
Flat-roofed buildings often have unused space that could be leveraged for on-site renewable energy generation. Relying solely on solar panels can lead to intermittent power generation due to weather conditions and time of day. This intermittency can cause instability and increased costs associated with grid dependence.
Solution
WIND my ROOF offers hybrid energy modules that combine rooftop wind turbines and solar panels, providing a consistent and localized electricity supply for flat-roofed commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. The WindBox® technology is designed to maximize energy production by harnessing both wind and solar resources, ensuring a more stable power output than solar alone. This approach enables buildings to increase their energy autonomy, reduce reliance on the grid, and mitigate the impact of volatile energy markets. The system supports both total and partial self-consumption models, allowing building owners to either fully utilize the generated electricity or inject surplus power back into the grid or store it for later use.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes owners and operators of warehouses, retail spaces, office buildings, industrial facilities, apartment complexes, and public buildings with flat rooftops seeking to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability.
Features
- Hybrid WindBox® module integrating a rooftop wind turbine and solar panels for combined energy generation
- Designed specifically for flat rooftops of commercial, industrial, residential, and public buildings
- Aims for total self-consumption, where all electricity produced is used by the building
- Supports partial self-consumption, with surplus electricity being fed back into the grid or stored
- Wind turbines generate electricity during day and night, and in winter months
- Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours and in summer months
- Wind resource assessment studies to determine optimal placement and energy output
