WindBoxes, the first hybrid solar-wind modules for roofs

SEGULA Technologies and WIND my ROOF have started the assembly of their first 8 compact wind turbines for the production of hybrid energy.

Hybrid solar/wind modules for the roofs of buildings.

WIND my ROOF specializes in renewable energies and offers innovative hybrid energy production systems for new and existing buildings. The first 8 models will be installed in Rouen (Normandy).

WindBox allows you to exploit the potential of rooftop wind power generation.

It is able to take advantage of the wind that rises along the facades of buildings to recover as much energy as possible. Thanks to its modular nature, this solution makes it possible to multiply the sources of production to obtain a significant electrical production, quite comparable to that of photovoltaic solar panels. A WindBox can produce as much electrical energy as 10 m2 of solar panels and can complement them. Quick and easy to install, it is designed and fixed to limit your noise and vibration pollution.

The first models of wind turbines coupled with solar panels developed by WIND my ROOF are intended for buildings in the private and public sectors (companies, town halls, gymnasiums), but also for logistics (warehouses, shopping centres).

Located at the edge of building roofs to take advantage of fast winds, the modules rely on the complementarity of technologies to improve their efficiency and produce up to 2,500 kWh of electricity per year.

Designed to be as safe as possible, they can withstand speeds up to 180 km/h and temperatures down to -15°C.

Made in France, WindBoxes are low carbon products, with around 25g eq-CO₂/kWh for 20 years.

The project has evolved enormously in a few years, partly thanks to the support of SIMRA and the proximity of the Saint-Nazaire site. We were able to benefit from real follow-up and expert advice. We have ambitions and ambitions internationally, especially in Germany where energy is still carbon-based, and there are many opportunities for a startup like WIND my ROOF.

Thanks to our startup assistance platform, HeXplora, we were able to support WIND my ROOF in the first production phases, by assembling the first 8 WindBox prototypes. After this success, the group is already thinking about the next step, which consists of manufacturing modules and expanding the range.

Environmental benefits.

  • An overall impact (with ACV) of 26g CO2ep per kWh instead of 55g emitted with solar panels.
  • A reduction in the overall environmental impact of more than 70% compared to current energy production,
