Companies that specialize in harvesting renewable energy tend to focus in one area, whether it’s solar, waves or wind power. Moncada Energy Group, s.r.l., an Italian maker of wind farm technology, is breaking with that model and plans to by the end of next year erect solar panels in the same fields as the company’s wind turbines. The company is hoping the move will allow it to draw energy day and night–both when the sun shines and the night wind howls. [More] RSS feeds and News widgets on Feedzilla.com
