Multi-source renewable energy station

A renewable energy station for providing electrical power to a user in an off-grid environment, comprising:

• a housing containing a main central controller and an electrical power distribution center connected to said main central controller;
• a plurality of solar panels attached to outside surfaces of said housing and connected to said main central controller and to said electrical power distribution center for generating solar-source electrical power and making said solar-source electrical power available to said electrical power distribution center;
• a plurality of loads connected to said electrical power distribution center;
• and
• a gas/diesel engine-generator mounted in said housing and connected to said main central controller and to said electrical power distribution center for generating diesel-source electrical power and for making said diesel-source electrical power available to said electrical power distribution center during a shortfall of said solar-source electrical power from said solar panels;
• said gas/diesel generator being enclosed inside a plenum, and said housing further including a duct-work system for moving heat from said gas/diesel engine-generator to spaces behind said solar panels to heat said solar panels and to melt snow and ice from said solar panels.

A renewable energy station for providing electrical power to a user in an off-grid environment, comprising:

• a housing containing a main central controller and an electrical power distribution center connected to said main central controller;
• a plurality of wind turbines attached to said housing and connected to said main central controller and to said electrical power distribution center for generating wind-source electrical power and for making available said wind-source electrical power to said electrical power distribution center;
• a plurality of solar panels attached to outside surfaces of said housing and connected to said main central controller and to said electrical power distribution center for generating solar-source electrical power and for making available said solar-source electrical power to said electrical power distribution center;
• a plurality of loads connected to said electrical power distribution center;
• each of said loads being assigned a priority value based on a load type and an essentiality of said load;
• said wind turbines and said solar panels being grouped into a plurality of generating cells wherein each of said generating cells comprises at least one of said wind turbines and at least one of said solar panels;
• said main central controller having a first memory for retaining said priority values of said loads and said main central controller and said electrical power distribution center jointly having switching and control equipment therein for connecting and disconnecting each of said loads to and from said electrical power distribution center according to said priority values, said load type and power availability from said generating cells.
