This comprehensive literature review examines the current state of research on hybrid wind-solar energy systems for residential and domestic applications. The review synthesizes findings from research papers across multiple databases published between 2018-2025. The analysis covers six key areas: technology overview and system components, performance analysis and reliability, economic feasibility, environmental impact assessment, current challenges and limitations, and future trends and developments. The review reveals that while hybrid residential wind-solar systems demonstrate significant potential for reducing primary energy consumption by up to 66.6% and achieving renewable fractions of 64- 68%, economic viability remains challenging with payback periods often exceeding 20 years. Key technological advances in smart controls, forecasting, and battery orchestration show promise for improving system performance and economic outcomes.
