SMARAAD’s 1.5kW L-Type Wind-Solar Hybrid System Powers Rural Farms in Chengde, Hebei

Set against the rolling hills and farmlands of Chengde, Hebei, SMARAAD’s 1.5kW L-type wind turbine paired with solar panels is bringing reliable clean energy to local agricultural operations. This off-grid hybrid system, installed in 2026, is purpose-built to power remote farm equipment, irrigation pumps, and lighting for small-scale farmers.

Designed for Chengde’s rural landscape, the 1.5kW L-type turbine efficiently harnesses the area’s steady, variable winds, while the solar array captures abundant sunlight during the growing season. Together, they form a stable, 24/7 power supply that eliminates the need for costly, polluting diesel generators—critical for farms far from the main power grid. The compact setup, with its guyed tower and streamlined three-blade design, is built to withstand the region’s seasonal winds and harsh winters.

For local farmers, the system is a game-changer. No longer limited by power outages or high fuel costs, they can run irrigation pumps, charge farm vehicles, and light their homesteads reliably. Annually, the hybrid system generates over 3,500 kWh of clean electricity, cutting around 2.6 tons of carbon emissions and significantly reducing operational expenses.

“Before this system, farming here was always at the mercy of power and fuel shortages,” said a local farmer. “Now, we have steady power for our pumps and tools, no matter how remote the farm is. It’s transformed how we work.”

This Chengde project showcases SMARAAD’s commitment to empowering rural communities with tailored renewable solutions. By combining wind and solar power in a compact, rugged package, we’re helping farmers build more resilient, sustainable livelihoods in Hebei’s countryside.
