Abstract

Uniting the sun's rays with the fluidity of water, the combination of solar and waterpower creates a potent force for renewable energy, lighting the way to a greener tomorrow. The proposed hybrid system combines modified solar panels with integrated rainwater collection channels, a central collection point, and mini turbines for electricity generation. Through experimental testing and simulations, the feasibility and effectiveness of the hybrid system are evaluated, demonstrating its potential to maximize energy output in regions with abundant sunlight and rainfall. The results indicate that the hybrid solar rainwater harvesting system offers a promising solution for sustainable energy generation, with applications ranging from residential rooftops to large-scale commercial installations. This research contributes to the advancement of renewable energy technologies and highlights the importance of innovative approaches to meet growing energy demands while mitigating environmental impact.
