Summary. This study analyzes a hybrid solar-wind-battery system for off-grid rural electrification in Cameroon's Mount Bamboutos region. Researchers tested six solar tracking methods and three wind turbine heights using HOMER Pro optimization software. Dual-axis solar trackers produced 7–31% more power than fixed panels and achieved the lowest energy costs. Higher wind turbine heights significantly increased wind generation. The system successfully powered 152 households, hospitals, schools, and businesses with zero greenhouse gas emissions.
