A COMBINATION THAT MAXIMIZES RENEWABLE ENERGY PRODUCTION 

 

French startup Unéole has developed a silent, mixed-energy system that
combines solar and wind power. Specifically adapted to city buildings, the
proposed mechanism comprises wind turbines covered with a photovoltaic rooftop
to maximize energy production by 40%, compared to a pure solar solution. Indeed,
pairing two renewable power sources gives the possibility to alternate between
them depending on weather conditions. As photovoltaic efficiency relies on solar
radiation, wind turbines can take over at night or during winter when radiations
are usually weak, making them the ideal complement.

LOW-CARBON & LOW-COST. SAFE & SILENT 

 

As well as maximizing production across all seasons, the Unéole hybrid energy
system ‘allows us to offer the most profitable, balanced and least expensive
urban renewable energy production system in carbon cost,’ writes the company. To
ensure a low-carbon footprint, the wind turbines are built from recycled or
recyclable materials (aluminum and stainless steel) and close to the operating
site, promoting local production. The startup also adopts specific algorithms to
determine the ideal number of wind turbines and photovoltaic panels for each
type of building.

 

On the other hand, the French public agency CEREMA has certified that the
startup’s wind turbines operate silently without producing any harmful
electromagnetic waves for both humans and building equipment. ‘We have been able
to test our wind turbines over several years thanks to the installations made
for our customers and partners: the CUA, the city of Roubaix, social landlords,
the CD2E, universities, etc.,‘ states Unéole.

THE PROMISE OF UNÉOLE TECHNOLOGY 

 

Structure-wise, the Unéole system combines a row of wind turbines topped with
solar panels, totaling a height of about four meters. The company works closely
with a specialized design office, ESER, to adapt its technology to all types of
flat roofs holding an area of 150 sqm or more. Last year, the team installed an
experimental device at the CD2e LumiWatt site in Loos-en-Gohelle, Pas-de-Calais.
If performance keeps looking as promising as it does now, the Unéole platform
will hopefully go into larger-scale production with the funds currently being
raised.
