N2 - Access to electricity remains a challenge in remote areas due to limited infrastructure and high installation costs. This paper presents a proof-of-concept for a portable wind-solar hybrid generator housed in a compact rectangular cabinet with a novel aluminum rail-based deployment mechanism that enhances portability and energy harvesting. The system integrates four monocrystalline solar panels and a mini wind turbine, connected to a hybrid charge controller, a lithium battery, an inverter, and USB/AC outputs. The design, modeled in Autodesk Inventor, follows the VDI 2206 methodology, ensuring a structured and replicable development process. Simulations estimate a daily energy generation of 2.32 kWh under optimal conditions; however, the current battery specification (12 V}, 7 Ah) is insufficient to store this energy, indicating a key area for future improvement. The estimated construction cost is USD 666, excluding labor, making the system potentially cost-effective for off-grid applications. This conceptual work contributes to the development of compact hybrid renewable energy systems and establishes a foundation for future physical prototyping, experimental validation, and optimization of energy storage component.
