A retired inventor in Dnipro Oleksandr Klymenko built an eight-meter wind station in the form of the Eiffel Tower with his own hands and installed it in the middle of the garden.

Later, he also installed a solar station that automatically rotates 360 degrees and changes the angle of inclination, reports DniproTV.

Klymenko told that has not known what a blackout is for seven years. I even learned about blackouts in the winter of 2022-2023 from my neighbors.

According to him, he built the wind turbine on his own in six months. He thought out all the details himself, or "spyed" somewhere.

The inventor shared that all his life he liked to make something. Even now, at a respectable age, he is constantly improving something in the house.

Klymenko said that 2 years ago he decided to install a SPP in the garden. At first I rearranged the panels myself, then learned how to make this process automatic. But the price did not suit him.

" Three thousand dollars, well, where can a pensioner get such money. I don't have them, my pension is small, and I don't take money from my children. I decided that I would come up with something myself." – he said.

The inventor said that the control unit and batteries for storage from the solar and wind power plants are at home. From here, he can manage and monitor metrics.

According Klymenka , this is a significant savings. The installation of the equipment itself is not cheap, but later everything will be compensated.

As EcoPolitic reported earlier, in Spain, the energy company Soleolico created the world's first wind turbine with solar panels, the productivity of which is 25% higher than that of other wind turbines.
