SMRAAD’s 20kW G-Type Wind-Solar Hybrid System Powers a Remote Qinghai Village

In the remote, mountainous expanse of Qinghai Province, a village once plagued by chronic power shortages now stands as a model of energy self-sufficiency. SMRAAD has completed a transformative distributed renewable energy project, equipping every household with a 20kW G-type horizontal-axis wind turbine and a 10kW solar panel array. This hybrid system, vividly captured in the aerial photograph, has not only ended the village’s reliance on erratic grid power but also laid the foundation for a sustainable future.

The project’s design is tailored to Qinghai’s harsh, high-altitude environment. The G-type wind turbines, with their robust three-blade design, efficiently capture the region’s strong, consistent winds, while the solar arrays on the rooftops harness the intense plateau sunlight. This synergy ensures a reliable 24/7 power supply, even during the long, cold nights and cloudy winter days when either source alone might falter.

For the villagers, the impact is profound and immediate. No longer are their evenings cut short by darkness, nor are their small businesses and livelihoods constrained by power outages. The system provides clean electricity for lighting, cooking, and powering essential appliances, significantly improving their quality of life. Environmentally, the project is a resounding success: collectively, the village’s turbines and panels are projected to generate over 1.2 million kWh of clean energy annually, eliminating the need for polluting diesel generators and reducing carbon emissions by approximately 880 metric tons per year.

“This project is about more than just electricity,” said a SMRAAD project manager on-site. “It’s about empowering a community to take control of its energy future. By bringing reliable, clean power to every home, we’re helping to bridge the energy gap in some of China’s most remote and underserved regions.”

This Qinghai village project is a powerful testament to SMRAAD’s commitment to making renewable energy accessible to all. By combining proven technology with a deep understanding of local needs, we are not only solving today’s energy challenges but also building a more equitable and sustainable tomorrow for communities across China and beyond.
