One such innovation is the integration of wind and solar power to maximize energy production. Companies like Unéole are pioneering technologies that combine solar panels with wind turbines on the same platform, which is particularly advantageous for urban environments with limited space. This hybrid system not only conserves space but also increases the energy yield by leveraging the complementary nature of solar and wind energy availability.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Gifford |first=Georgia |date=2016-05-14 |title=Five energy innovations revolutionizing the developing world |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ref.2016.05.001 |journal=Renewable Energy Focus |volume=17 |issue=3 |pages=97–98 |doi=10.1016/j.ref.2016.05.001 |bibcode=2016REneF..17...97G |issn=1755-0084|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Furthermore, advancements in offshore wind technology have significantly increased the viability and efficiency of wind energy. Modern offshore wind turbines feature improvements in structural design and aerodynamics, which enhance their energy capture and reduce costs. These turbines are now more adaptable to various marine environments, allowing for greater flexibility in location and potentially reducing visual pollution. The floating wind turbines, for example, use tension leg platforms and spar buoys that can be deployed in deeper waters, significantly expanding the potential areas for wind energy generation<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Asim |first1=Taimoor |last2=Islam |first2=Sheikh |last3=Hemmati |first3=Arman |last4=Khalid |first4=Muhammad |date=2022-01-14 |title=A Review of Recent Advancements in Offshore Wind Turbine Technology |journal=Energies |language=en |volume=15 |issue=2 |pages=579 |doi=10.3390/en15020579 |doi-access=free |issn=1996-1073}}</ref> Such innovations not only advance the capabilities of individual renewable technologies but also contribute to a more resilient and sustainable energy grid. By optimizing the integration and efficiency of renewable resources, these technologies play a crucial role in the transition towards a sustainable energy future.
