An equivalent streetlight costs about $125 per year to operate. The system, called the "Kazekamome Remote Hybrid", features a solar panel on top, and a vertical-axis wind turbine positioned between the lamp's two poles. Since it is self-powered, it can be installed anywhere without expensive trenching and wiring. See [a href="http://www.simcoe.com/article/31164"]this story[/a] about a recent installation, or click the link here to see another photo of the light.
