The component (1) has an upper air outlet opening (5) formed at top (7) of the component, where geometry and dimensions of the outlet opening are selected to increase air flow crossing an wind energy collection enclosure (2). An air intake side opening (3) is equipped with an overhang rim forming a cap (8). The cap moves a zone of a frontage (4) exposed to wind, upwardly, where overpressure is high to increase pressure difference between the intake opening and the top of the component, which is in depression, and to increase the air flow to traverse the enclosure to collect wind energy.
