New World Wind’s Aeroleaf Combines Solar and Wind Power, Generating 36,000 kWh Annually

The Aeroleaf installation, designed by French company New World Wind, represents a breakthrough in renewable energy, combining solar and wind power in a single system. This innovative technology surpasses traditional photovoltaic cells, aiming to maximize energy production. According to Ecoticias, the installation is composed of "petals" equipped with photovoltaic elements, making the Aeroleaf Hybrid a dual generator of solar and wind energy.

The turbine features 36 blades, capable of generating up to 1,000 kWh annually per blade, reaching a total capacity of 36,000 kWh at a wind speed of 12 m/s. New World Wind also offers customizable designs, allowing consumers to choose colors for the "trunks" and "leaves" to blend harmoniously with their surroundings. Additionally, LED lamps or electric vehicle chargers can be integrated into the design.

The largest model, The Wind Tree, boasts three steel trunks and 36 turbines, generating 10.8 kW, making it ideal for private homes and small industries. Modular versions are also available, offering 3 to 5 trunks and 18 to 30 turbines, with power ranging from 4 kW to 9 kW. The Wind Bush, with 12 turbines and 16 solar panels, provides 4.2 kW, suitable for small villages and residential areas. The smallest model, The Lotus, includes 12 turbines, producing 3.6 kW.

Since its inception, New World Wind has installed 130 Aeroleaf wind "trees" across Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Asia, reflecting a growing demand for advanced renewable energy technologies.
