When wind turbines catch the wind's energy, they create electricity. Solar panels trap sunlight and turn it into power. These sources fuel homes, businesses, and even entire areas with renewable energy. And these renewable sources of electricity support peoples' lives without emitting the planet-heating gases that come from burning fossil fuels like. . A wind-solar hybrid system is an alternative power generation system that pairs two great forces in green energy: photovoltaic (solar) panels and wind turbines.
