Researchers at the University of Malaya have designed an " energy roof " that incorporates a number of different renewable technologies to deliver clean energy to a home . The roof features a v - shaped structure , which then guides winds into a series of turbines located underneath it to generate electricity . There is also a wind harvester connected to the structure to cool and clean its embedded solar panels . The researchers say the roof can generate more than 21,200 kWh of energy a year . The average Malaysian uses 200 kWh of electricity annually .
Researchers at the University of Malaya have designed an "eco roof" that incorporates a number of different renewable technologies to supply clean energy to a home. The roof features a v-shaped structure, which then guides winds into a series of turbines located underneath it to generate electricity. There is also a rainwater harvester connected to the structure to cool and clean its embedded solar cells. The researchers say the roof could generate more than 21,200 kWh of energy a year. The average Malaysian uses 4,200 kWh of energy annually.
