In recent years, Uganda has significantly increased the use ofrenewable energy sources, particularly solar and wind power. These energysources are especially crucial in rural and remote areas where connecting tothe national grid is challenging. Renewable Energy Sources (RES) haveproven to be cost-effective alternatives to traditional energy sources, whichoften require substantial investments in transmission and distributionnetworks. This study focuses on designing and implementing a hybridrenewable energy system that integrates both solar and wind power. Theresearch successfully established a reliable and continuous power supply forthe community through the combination of wind and solar energy. The hybridpower generation system operates by simultaneously monitoring solar andwind energy using an ACS712 current and voltage sensor. Controlled by amicrocontroller, the system employs dual-channel relay switches to activatethe power source with sufficient energy to charge the battery. The programming for this system was conducted using C++ and Arduino software. This study highlights the vast potential within the field of sustainable energy. With rapid and economical electricity production, this hybrid system paves the way toward a greener future, where our energy needs can be met in an environmentally friendly manner.
