Abstract: To meet the need for electricity, renewable energy generation is rapidly expanding. Renewable energy sources include solar and wind. Solar energy is available at the start of the day, and wind energy is at its peak on the highway due to vehicle speed. This paper's rationale helps to the global trend toward renewable energy. The utilisation of air on a highway divider with the help of a vertical axis wind turbine is the subject of this research. Due to its speed, the vehicle passing on the highway produces a significant amount of air. This air impacts the blade of a vertical axis wind turbine tangentially, causing the rotor to rotate in just one direction. The solar system is used to generate electricity and is also designed to direct vehicle exhaust into the turbine. To create energy, the vertical axis wind turbine's shaft is connected to the generator with the gear mechanism. A battery stores the electrical output of the vertical axis turbine and the solar system. This stored energy can be used for street lighting, toll gates, and other applications. The paper shows the hardware implementation of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with a solar panel.
