The AEROGRID® Commercial Validation Center in Huizhou, China is now open, opening the validation window that runs through September 2026.
Commercial Validation is the point at which the modeled economics of the Micro-Wind Solar Hybrid platform are measured against a built array. The programme targets a levelised cost of energy of $0.08/kWh, falling to approximately $0.07/kWh at MW scale.
What partners see on site
- The 50kW wind-solar hybrid array configuration, with a footprint of 30m L × 3m W × 8m H
- Oscillating aerofoil operation across the hexagonal ducted panels, with no rotating components
- Integrated sun tracking, which auto-adjusts daily to lift solar efficiency by up to 30%
- Hydraulic energy buffering and grid-friendly power conversion
Next steps for Vanguard partners
Partners attending Commercial Validation may execute the Vanguard Agreement on site, which locks Showcase Array delivery for December 2026 and secures MW+ allocation in the 2027 production queue.
Site and yield assessment — wind mapping, LCOE projection and grid-connection planning — follows in the October to November 2026 window.
