The global energy transition toward sustainability demands the integration of renewable energy education into the school curriculum. However, traditional physics education is still missing appropriate experimental aids especially for understanding hybrid energy systems such as solar or wind hybrid system. The objective of this research is to create and assess cost-effective and field weighty school-based hybrid renewable energy education systems tutors for enhancing student’ energy literacy. This study adopted the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation) development model to develop a hybrid solar panels and mini wind turbine demonstration instrument equipped with digital voltmeter switching system. The developed product was validated by the experts in the subject, media and physics teachers with a very high level of feasibility (above 85%). Energy literacy increased significantly among high school students that used both teaching aids (normalized gain = 0.63), moderately improving conceptual understanding and student engagement, when the teaching tools were introduced. Teacher and student feedback also suggested that it was useful, interactive, and facilitated contextual learning. This study is novel in that it offers an inexpensive, easy‐to‐replicate, and successful instructional intervention to promote renewable energy literacy in physics education. © 2026 IOP Publishing Ltd.
