The importance of renewable energy provides a great opportunity to meet the demand for household electricity located in Baqubaha, Diyala, Iraq. Intentionally, there are to renewable energy components have been selected wind turbine (1 kW) and photovoltaic array (1.65 kW) for assessing the sources of renewable energy to serve household desired load. The current work analysis is executed by using experimental data for the load demand, solar irradiance, ambient temperature and wind speed for the selected site. The work targeted to shed light on the technical and economic feasibility of integrating renewable sources to feed the desired load by renewable energy. The results show that the renewable energy system based on grid connection can feed the desired electrical load by about 90% as well as a support grid system by renewable energy by about 3114 kWh/year. The system economic aspects show the initial capital cost, net present cost and cost of energy are $2615; $53449; $0.25 respectively, for 25 years project lifespan. The results are very encouraging to use renewable energy resources in the selected site.
