Solar and Wind converter.?

No such existed system in market because those parts are too expensive for marketing. You need to build your own system by combining solar panels,wind turbines, voltage regulation,storage battery bank,DC to AC converter and automatic switch system. It is not difficult to build but requires a lot of field test because wind power is not a constant power source.

There is no functional way to combine the two - both feed power to some kind of controller, with and without batteries, but both are so variable across installations that attempting to make a marketable package would be a waste. The wind turbine controller has to limit over voltage and deal with both too high and too low winds, including parking the turbine, while the solar has to deal with the varying level of output through the day and both have to have a function to protect the batteries from over charging. And the grid converter may include the latter function but if you are going to have both sources, each will need to feed the batteries as buffer.

If you already have grid power, the most cost effective and environmentally friendly solution is to use grid-tied inverters. If you have batteries, then you get the worst of both worlds - maintenance headaches of batteries, and still not enough power to run everything.

A solar inverter is somewhat different from a wind inverter, so you would need both, but it would absolutely be possible to tie them both to your grid connection.

Note that very few sites are really suitable for wind power, and that wind will require more maintenance because of moving parts. If you're in a place that has steady, strong wind, with few buildings, trees, or mountains to block it, you might want to go all wind. In the likely event that you are not in such a location, go all solar.

Hey,

So I'm trying to find any technology out on the market that can feasibly combine solar and wind to an on grid system like a smart converter etc... We would have an on grid connection onsite but are incorporating renewable energy sources through batteries or whatever option is available. This is in the research phase still so any help is greatly appreciated. If more information is needed just ask.

Thanks
