The Green Power Station is a portable rolling unit around two feet cubed. It includes a 50 watts solar photovoltaic panel and a 400 watt wind turbine, both of which charge a battery. The battery provides 12 volt DC power to a lamp, a pump, a fan, and a 120 volt AC power inverter. Meters monitor the solar and wind charging current and the battery voltage and current.
