I'd be tempted to look at Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) as I think they stand a
better chance of surviving storms.
Maybe try a 3d printed VAWT

On a hub like this https://www.texenergy.com/infinite-air.html
Maybe in extreme storms this would work mounted upside down with some additional
waterproofing https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32909773152.html
I do think it's going to be cheaper and more reliable to do solar almost anywhere in
the World.

Hi all
Where I live, there is currently not enough sunlight to go full solar - but
there is a lot of wind.
No idea if this kit https://amzn.to/38WG4X4 would work to power / load the
battery and run the board. Maybe this could be combined with the solar
panel. Good and bad weather options.
Sounds fun! That kit looks like it's more for learning than for
long-term reliability. I'd go on youtube and find people who have
reviewed some of the more affordable options.
Wind is always going to be quite a bit more expensive than solar for
small stuff like this but aliexpress and ebay have some affordable
kits that might be viable.
