Cool article and comment section just to see the tech used here (some folks even linked the patent for this design). It's interesting to see this in "pv" magazine which presumably stands for photo-voltaic.
It's good to have options and I don't think the world will ever be "solar OR wind" - they compliment each other and can provide redundancy.
The interesting thing here is Rooftop seems to focused on selling to consumers (?) as opposed to industrial scale turbines or solar farms. For my personal (off the grid) energy needs one/two 100w panels are sufficient but nice to see a less "dangerous looking" wind catcher.
This probably has less installation than solar and I'm curious about the lifespan/service intervals of the mechanism
