Classification: CPC F  H | IPC F  H

Claim 9:
10. A system for adjusting an inclination angle of a solar panel and a pitch of one or more micro-turbines to maximize power output, the system comprising:
one or more solar panels;
a mounting system for the one or more solar panels;
one or more micro-turbines positioned at a small opening end of the one or more solar panels;
one or more motors and gears for changing a solar panel inclination angle of the one or more solar panels and a pitch of the one or more micro-turbines;
one or more computer processors and memory for executing program instructions;
one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media; and
program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to predict wind velocity at a small opening of an inclined solar panel wherein the one or more of micro-turbines are located;
program instructions to predict solar irradiance striking the inclined solar panel;
program instructions to calculate an optimal solar panel inclination angle and an optimal micro-turbine pitch based on maximizing power output; and
program instructions to adjust the solar panel inclination angle and the pitch of the one or more micro-turbines based on the optimal solar panel inclination angle and the optimal micro-turbine pitch.
