NOVELTY - The method involves providing (101) a solar powered wind turbine apparatus with a rotor assembly comprising several blades. A solar dome is operably connected to rotor assembly, and is configured to house and support an interconnected assembly of photovoltaic cells on a surface of solar dome. An electric motor is electrically connected to photovoltaic cells housed in solar dome. The electrical energy produced by photovoltaic cells is transferred (104) to electric motor of solar powered wind turbine apparatus.    USE - Method for initiating rotation of blades of wind turbine.    ADVANTAGE - The blades of rotor assembly of solar powered wind turbine apparatus e.g. solar powered horizontal axis wind turbine apparatus and hybrid solar and wind turbine, is rotated by electric motor using electrical energy transferred by photovoltaic cells, to eliminate cut-in speed required for rotation of blades. The power to rotate blades of a wind turbine when the speed of wind is less than a cut-in speed, to eliminate the cut-in speed required to rotate the blades of the wind turbine. The rotation of the solar dome cools the photovoltaic cells housed in the solar dome with more airflow and decreases the temperature increase of the photovoltaic cells, such that the efficiency of the photovoltaic cells for producing electrical energy is increased.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a solar powered wind turbine apparatus for reducing or eliminating a cut-in speed.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a flow diagram illustrating the method for initiating rotation of blades of a wind turbine when the speed of wind is less than a cut-in speed.
