A shrouded wind turbine includes a shroud with an exterior surface that includes a smooth outer surface. The smooth outer surface is large enough that additional devices, particularly advertising displays or solar panels, can be mounted to the shroud to more efficiently use available surface area, both on the wind turbine itself and on the footprint of the wind turbine.
