Abstract: Wind and solar energy resources are very rich in western china. Because of acting as circumstances permit, we can make use of local advantages of energy resources to solve herdsmen’s problems of using electricity through the development of household renewable energy generating systems which are including of stand-alone wind turbine (WT) generating systems, stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems and combined PV-WT hybrid systems. By investigations of herdsmen’s economic conditions and service conditions of household renewable energy generating systems, this article analyzes local wind and solar energy resources, and the problems and reasons in the course of promoted household renewable energy generating systems in Sonid Right Banner, the Xilin Gol League of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Through the investigation, it is found that the major obstacle of sustainable developments is low capacity to afford to and unprofessional technical maintenance. In light of current conditions, it is effective to reduce costs and improve reliabilities by optimized system configurations.
