Funky-Cool Hybrid Wind and Solar Powered Street Lamps

These stylish and somewhat artsy looking hybrid wind and solar powered street lamps, designed and created by Urban Green Energy, are capable of operating completely off-grid by using renewable energy to provide light.

Fully customizable according to the design elements that appeal to you, each has a solar array topped with a wind turbine capable of generating up to 380 W of power in ideal weather conditions (i.e. full sun and steady wind).

Easily mounted to a standard galvanized steel pole, the turbine on top can be either a 300 W 2nd Generation vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) or a horizontal axis wind turbine.

Fixed to the side of the pole are 2 solar panels made by F3 Solar that are capable of generating up to 80 W of power.

Between the two sources of power, the excess energy generated is then stored in a battery that illuminates the high efficiency LEDs throughout the evening.

Urban Green Energy’s Hybrid Wind/Solar Lamps will soon be installed along the streets of one undisclosed city in China, and it won’t be surprising if many other metropolitan areas follow suit.
