Rooftop wind energy invention is 16 times more efficient than solar panels
‘This is a game-changer adding new value to the fast-growing rooftop power generation market,’ says Aeromine boss
A new rooftop wind harvesting device is capable of generating 50 per cent more electricity than solar panels for the same cost, according to its inventors.
A much smaller footprint means a single unit can also provide the same amount of power as up to 16 solar panels.
The motionless design, created by Texas-based startup Aeromine Technologies, replaces the blades found in traditional wind turbines with an aerodynamic system that harvests energy from the airflow above a building.
