Big blades for solar power generation

A Swiss startup is mounting solar panels on used wind turbine blades

The prototype had around 16 430-watt solar panels attached to 8.4-meter (27.5-foot) wind turbine blades. The Alpine pilot confirmed that Blade2Sun is feasible, even in extreme conditions.

Wind Turbines: the Bigger, the Better | Department of Energy

Since the early 2000s, wind turbines have grown in size—in both height and blade lengths—and generate more energy. What''s driving this growth? Let''s take a closer look.

Solar power generation blades

At the moment, the power we use at night mostly comes from coal- and gas-fired generation, said Dominic Zaal, director of the Australian Solar Thermal Research Institute
