On October 6th, energy company Soleolico unveiled the world's first wind turbine with photovoltaic cells on its blades to harvest wind and solar energy for 24/7 electricity production at the Magdalena Palace in Santander. Soleolico's technology revolves around a patented magnetic system that adjusts the wind direction of each photovoltaic turbine to capture energy from all directions, according to Design Boom .

According to Soleolico, the foundation of the photovoltaic-equipped wind turbine comes from more than 10 years of research and 30 prototypes, alongside designs that combine wind and solar power storage in a single unit. The energy company also incorporates a rough, tree-trunk-like white 3D-printed shell, using partner LaMáquina's Pure.Tech technology, which absorbs and transforms carbon-containing emissions into clean air. A Soleolico turbine is installed outside the Magdalena Palace for public viewing.

Soleolico states that their turbines are cost-effective and can operate without an external power station. By harnessing green energy from both wind and solar power, their technology ensures a continuous power supply. The design is highly flexible and compact, reducing installation complexity and avoiding impact on the topsoil. The turbine model comes in three versions, including a Bespoke version designed by architect Firàs Safieddine and a version directly connected to high-voltage power lines and poles.

According to Soleolico, their "2-in-1" wind turbine is 25% more efficient than current wind turbines. The technology is noiseless and operates at low speeds, allowing birds to safely perch on top of the turbine.

For businesses, the solar panels can be adjusted to display signs or billboards. Soleolico has not yet revealed plans for mass production of the turbine model, but the display at the Magdalena Palace can help the public visualize 24/7 renewable electricity production.
