Due to increasing use of non renewable energy sources and their limitations there is a need
for search of alternate energy sources. As the use of non-renewable energy sources (fossil
fuels, coal, gas, petrol, diesel) is increasing day by day due to increase in the size of
population and demand of electricity they will get depleted in future. So it felts the need for
search of renewable energy sources which will never exhaust in future. Among the all
available renewable energy sources sun energy is best because it is huge in amount, free,
clean and easily available. Also wind energy is the important aspect form of energy for
producing electricity. In this paper we have combine these two technologies for producing
electricity. We are using the hybrid combination of solar energy and wind energy. This
hybrid combination gives high efficiency and can make use of large barren lands, deserts,
sun-rich wastelands. One of the important and major advantages of using solar hybrid
chimney is that it produces electricity in the night also. In spite of when the sun light is not
available in the night also producing electricity thereby maintaining and improving
efficiency.
