SMARAAD Wind-Solar Hybrid System Lights Up Streets in Zhangjiakou, Hebei

Against a clear blue sky, SMARAAD’s 100kW G-type commercial wind turbine stands tall in Zhangjiakou’s eco-district, paired with compact S-type micro wind turbines and solar-powered streetlights. Completed in April 2026, this integrated renewable setup powers the area’s public lighting, proving how clean energy can blend seamlessly into everyday urban infrastructure.

The large G-type turbine generates bulk clean power for the district’s streetlight network, while the S-type micro turbines and rooftop solar panels on each pole provide supplementary, on-site power. Together, they form a hybrid system that ensures 24/7 lighting even during grid fluctuations, while drastically cutting the city’s reliance on fossil fuel-generated electricity. The turbines’ quiet operation and sleek design complement the modern streetscape, avoiding disruption to daily life.

For Zhangjiakou, the benefits are both environmental and practical. The hybrid system leverages the city’s abundant wind and solar resources, generating over 260,000 kWh of clean electricity annually, reducing carbon emissions by more than 190 metric tons while lowering long-term municipal energy costs. It’s a visible, accessible example of how renewable energy can transform public spaces in one of China’s leading renewable energy hubs.

“These wind and solar installations make sustainability feel tangible for residents,” the city’s urban planning officer said. “Seeing clean energy power our streets every day helps build a greener mindset across the community.”

This Zhangjiakou project showcases SMARAAD’s versatility in designing hybrid renewable solutions for urban environments, proving that both large-scale and compact wind-solar systems can drive meaningful change in city infrastructure.
