Abstract— Electricity is one of the most important part of people’s lives in today’s world. The electricity is generated majorly by either hydro power plant, thermal power plant, or nuclear power plant etc. This generated power is distributed to the consumers by various companies and the consumers will have to pay to the power consumed according the pricing listed by the companies. Sometimes there will also be a problem of power cut which may affect the daily life of people. The backbone of India is agriculture and hence the farmers require quite large amount of power. But the farmers sometimes have to face issues of power cut or huge amount of electricity bills. In this paper we provide solution to these major problems faced by many farmers and also general public. In this paper we explain about how we can utilize natural sources i.e., solar and wind energy to solve these problems. In this paper we attempt to make a project which utilizes both solar and wind energy. The solar panel and the wind mill convert light and mechanical energy respectively to electrical energy. This obtained electrical power will be in dc and is converted to ac with the help of an inverter then stepped-up with a transformer and give to the ac load.
