Highlights
Within the past century, the global temperature has increased by 1.33o Fahrenheit (0.74o Celsius) [8, 9]
From the figure 10, we can see that the lowest cost occurs when 95% of the energy is from solar power and 5% coming from wind power

Summary
The global temperature has increased by 1.33o Fahrenheit (0.74o Celsius) [8, 9]. By analyzing all energy resource options, we have concluded that the most effective and clean way to produce the energy required to power our chosen residence is a combination of both solar and wind power. Solar power is incredibly effective during the summer months and wind power can produce most of the energy during the winter. We recommend using 15.97kWsolar energy system and four 0.4KW wind turbine systems In this way, we find that installing hybrid power system such as Figure 11 can save the household $43757. Solar and wind energy produces a negligible amount of greenhouse gases compared to coal and other energy sources currently being used at this residence. Solar energy and Wind power systems do not produce air pollution, water pollution, or greenhouse gases. Using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment. (Table 1)
