Blades installed solar panels Dual-use wind turbines

Over the years, the efficient use of wind energy has been an important issue for the sustainable development of energy, and wind power plants of various sizes have been successively built around the world. Recently, the research team of the University of Liverpool announced their latest research results on the use of wind energy: the installation of solar panels on turbine blades can also be beneficial for solar power generation in wind power generation. In this program, the researchers modified the shape of the blades to increase the area of ​​sunlight and increase the use of wind energy. At the same time, the blades “brushed” an anti-glare protective layer to prevent sunlight from concentrating and causing fire. This technology is well suited for countries with sufficient wind and sunlight, and is expected to be the first to be implemented in Ireland or Australia.
