The video below shows how to make a combiner box to allow solar panels and a wind turbine to charge the same battery.  Also shown in the video: How to make an extension cord out of spare CRT cables and heat shrink.

This combiner box could also be used for other power sources, like combining thermoelectric generation and solar panels.

Idea for box came from the video below.

I added Schottky diodes to the combiner box to make sure that current flows in one direction.
