Abstract: This project presents the design and implementation of a solar–wind hybrid power generation system on highways aimed at utilizing renewable energy sources efficiently. Solar panels capture energy from sunlight, while wind turbines generate power from airflow created by moving vehicles and natural wind. The combination of solar and wind energy ensures reliable and continuous power generation throughout the day and night.

The generated electrical energy can be used for highway lighting, traffic signals, toll booths, and nearby public utilities, thereby reducing dependency on conventional fossil-fuel-based power sources. This system helps in lowering carbon emissions, minimizing energy losses, and promoting sustainable infrastructure development. The proposed hybrid power generation model is cost-effective, eco-friendly, and contributes to the effective utilization of unused highway spaces, supporting the goal of clean and renewable energy generation.
