To overcome the increasing energy development demand and its cost application of renewable energy is
must. Renewable energy is generally electricity supplied from source, such as wind power, solar power, geothermal
energy, hydropower and various forms of biomass. These source have been coined renewable due to continues
replenishment and availability for use over and over again. Stand-alone wind energy and stand-alone solar energy
having some drawbacks such as unpredictable weather result into unpredictable output. Hence, to overcome this standalone energy system the installation of hybrid system is necessary. The key feature of this new concept is the arrangement
of multiple savonius vertical axis wind turbine into the structure. A photovoltaic Panel is integrated to contribute to
power generation. The energy is collected by power conversion equipment along with a storage device which ensures the
lighting also during windless nights. The main application of this project is the stand-alone street lighting, but also a
grid connected option is feasible. This project presents Design, development and application of hybrid wind solar energy
