Hybrid tower
Using the Torque Wind Turbine in combination with solar and a battery pack could give the opportunity to build a smart grid. This way houses, companies, farms and small villages could become self-supporting in energy and create a smart grid using Internet of Things applications and 5G telecom options directly from the Torque Wind Turbine tower. Also the battery of electric cars for electricity ...
