Wind and solar that keeps working at night

GridLeaf is a modular wind and solar unit designed and built in Troy, New York. One small footprint, power around the clock.

Beyond the grid, power gets expensive.

Same load for every option: 2 kWh a day, year-round, over 20 years. GridLeaf puts wind and solar on one footprint to produce through the hours and seasons solar can’t.

How we calculated this

20-year levelized cost at a 6% discount rate. Diesel at $6.20/gal (US average, October 2026). Grid at 19¢/kWh rising 5% a year, plus a 300 ft underground run at $20/ft. Solar and battery sized to cover a Northeast December. GridLeaf at $6,000 installed with battery today, about $3,000 at scale, on a well-sited unit.

More power, less system.

Wind is often strongest in the colder months and at night, meaning GridLeaf keeps turning when solar is weakest. One unit with both gives flatter output across the day and the year, so a site needs far less “system” to hit the same reliability target.

GridLeaf pairs a 450 W flow-boosted wind turbine with a 240 W solar canopy in a single 2 ft × 2 ft footprint.

Portable

Bolted modules come apart for transport and go back up with hand tools.

On or off the grid

Feeds a building’s loads or runs standalone with battery storage.

Flexible mounting

Ground, wall, or roof mounting without permanent infrastructure.

Custom branding

Every panel can carry your colors, logo, or message.

Quiet

GridLeaf registers less than 40 dB during ambient operation.

Your unit, your message

The side panels are the biggest surfaces on the unit, so we treat them as a billboard. Put your logo, your colors, or a message on them.

For a business, a campus, or a town, that turns an energy system into something people stop and look at.

How we size a site

  1. Pull the data

    We aggregate multiple long-term wind and solar datasets for your exact location to tailor unit configuration to your site.

  2. Model the output

    We estimate annual energy using the rotor performance we’ve measured on our own units, not a catalog number.

  3. Visit the site

    We confirm the mounting location, wind exposure, and electrical tie-in in person.

  4. Send a proposal

    You get expected production, cost, and an install plan in writing before anything is built.
