He has extensive knowledge in distributed Renewable energy installations. He is working at Young Africa in the Solar Technology Department. Currently he is researching on feasibility of operating a wind –solar hybrid system, taking advantage of the sun and wind’s complementary nature (usually when there is no sun there is plenty of wind and the reverse is true). A hybrid test run project has been setup in Mrehwa Zimbabwe comprising of Hybrid 200 watt wind turbine system and 100 watt solar panel to assess efficiency of the system.

Solar and wind energy are two of the most viable renewable energy sources. Electricity energy generation by photovoltaic’s solar cells and wind turbine increased rapidly in recent years. This presentation highlights the feasibility of operating both energy sources, wind and solar alongside one another in order to take advantage of their complementary characters. With this combination, the optimum utilization of resources and thus improves the efficiency as compared with their individual generation mode can achieve. Also the hybrid Wind and Solar system increases the reliability and reduces the dependence on one single source. In this presentation we will also give details of a test project Kayla Technologies is running in Mrehwa Zimbabwe to prove feasibility of the system.
