We report an innovation that utilizes solar and wind energy in a compact and practical way. A mobile solar and wind-powered mobile generator that produces 1.5 kW has been designed and constructed at the University of Bahrain, in collaboration with Long International, Bahrain. The renewable-energy system was erected on a trailer and is self-contained. It contains 16 solar panels with each panel capable of producing 75 W (V-SC = 17 V and I-SC = 4.45 A), 2 Rutland wind-power generators (output 50 W at a wind speed of 9.8 m s(-1)), 20 deep cycle batteries [each of 12 V with 100 Ah (ampere-hours)], a charge controller, and a voltage inverter (Power 1500 VA, 6.5 A, frequency 50 Hz). The cost of each watt in this mobile station is ED 3.3, i.e. USD 8.6. The system has the advantage of being easy to install (maximum erection time 10 min by two people), produces no noise, looks good, is environmentally friendly, reliable and educational.
