    The main objective of “Hybrid Power Generation by Solar Tracking and helical Axis Wind Turbine” wherein, design of the components and their analysis has been carried out and, the fabrication of the model has been done as per the calculations that have been obtained from the design and analysis. Electricity has helped in reducing physical efforts to a very large extent, but, the way in which it is produced is quite a matter of concern. Even today, most of the electricity that we use is produced through conventional methods. These conventional methods commonly use fossil fuels to produce electricity. Not only are these methods expensive, but also cause grave damage to the environment. The use of fuels for the generation of electricity results in increased costs and emissions of hazardous pollutants. The only alternative is a new method that is not only cheap and efficient, but also eco-friendly. The Solar Tracking - Vertical Axis Wind Turbine System is capable of satisfying both these requirements. in addition to being eco-friendly, it is also relatively cheaper when compared to the conventional methods of electricity generation. This turbine uses both Solar and Wind Energies to generate electricity. So, we have two efficient and inexhaustible sources for uninterrupted generation of electricity. The system has two basic components – one for generation of electricity through Solar Energy and another one for generation from Wind Energy. Even in the case of absence of either of the two sources, the other remaining source could be used to supplement the absence of the former. Due to all these features, the Solar-Vertical Axis Wind Turbines could be considered suitable for replacing the existing old means of electricity generation. Because, not only are they cheaper, but also economic and highly efficient. These turbines are gaining ground day by day and hopefully will be helpful in making us achieve the long sought after goal of green and clean energy.
