Check local area regulations to determine where you may mount your wind turbine and solar panels. Your wind turbine must be at least 160 feet from any buildings, and ideally in a high-wind area. Your solar panels, should face south for best results, but may also face east or west, although you may need more solar panels or special frames for your panels to provide the same amount of energy.
Wire your wind turbine and solar panels to a charge controller. Start by wiring both to a blocking diode, using 12-gauge AWG cable. The blocking diode ensures that charge only flows from the wind turbine or solar panels to the battery bank. In other words, on a calm or cloudy day, charge cannot flow from the battery bank to the generator or panels.
Wire the blocking diode to a charge controller. The charge controller should be configured according to manufacturer's instructions, and able to handle the maximum potential amount of voltage from the wind-powered generator and solar panels.
Wire the charge controller to a dump load. In the event that either the wind generator or solar panels, or both, are producing direct current to a greater extent than the battery bank can handle, the dump load discharges the direct current in the form of heat, preventing it from overcharging the batteries.
Wire the charge controller to a battery bank capable of imbibing the maximum potential voltage that the wind turbine and solar panels together could produce. The batteries will store voltage from the wind turbine and solar panels.
Wire the battery bank to an AC power inverter. The power inverter makes it possible for you to plug your home appliances into the solar wind generator.
