Harvest Wind Solar Unit
Winter 2012
The Harvest system is a new way of approaching wind and solar energy. Most wind and solar systems are located in remote areas and very large as these produce energy in greater volume. However this means that much of the power is lost to the energy grid. Small scale systems have been tried in the past however they are often ugly and tend to be freestanding, making them complicated and not wanted in the community.
All communities need telephone and electric poles, and therefore they already exist and have been accepted. By making low cost wind solar units that tie into the DC power grid and attach to these poles, we can create an easy way to augment them on a local level with sustainable energies.
