you should have some of both,solar panels don’t work when it dark and cold, wind mills only work when the wind blows
A toroidal Inductance generator. Gets 33Kw. Needs 2 12 volt lead acid batteries to run it. Magnetic Motors corp sells them. $ 3,999.00 No more hydro grid!!!
When you look into the wind mill you will find the cost are just way to high. Then after you spend all of those thousands of dollars to put a system in you will find out that any energy you produce is sold to the grid at wholesale price and then the energy that you get cost you retail price. With all of that you would never recoup your money that you invested in the system to begin with. Do your research before investing.
FYI
Texas now has over 8000 wind turbines here, and the best wind speed for them is 9 mph. They also produce between 1.5 to 3 megawatts each.
This depends on your location. If your in a sunny area but with little wind, then stick to solar. If you get lots of wind but little sun, then go for wind. If you get lots of both, then go for both. Batteries will help for the down time when you get neither.
Both systems can be expensive, but I believe (not positive), there are more tax breaks for solar.
Excellent question, and it is one often asked by most users.
Selecting what type of renewable energy to use to power your home is not always about what you would prefer to have but what is best available and economically most feasible.
In order to find out why, and to estimate the potential at your house to use solar panels or wind power,you will need to make some calculations, using the information found on this website.
