So you want to install some renewable energy for your home and have come to the crossroad as to which is better, residential wind power or residential solar power .Both wind power and solar power have been around for a long timer now and both renewable energy source have successfully been used to produce clean electricity for home and commercial users---but which renewable energy source is the best ?
In our mind there is no competition! Wind power is the superior renewable energy source for residential users and this comes down to a number of reasons:
Wind power technology has its origins that trace back to Persia as early as 200 B.C .Wind power has been around a lot longer than solar power and as such the technology has had a greater deal of time to be refined to a point that it is more reliable than solar power .
Many locations around the world do not have full sunlight days which is a vital ingredient to the success of a solar panel installation .On top of this the sun is only out for half of the day in most places around the world ---in some places the sun does not even shine during the day ---this leads to no solar power! On the flip side a wind turbine can produce energy all day every day if there is a supply of wind.
Cost---Yes you knew it had to come up eventually ! Solar power technology costs a lot more than wind power ---one wind turbine and one solar array were set up and tested over the course of one year . Over that time span wind proved to be more cost effective than solar power. The total kwh produces by each system were recorder and then divided into the total cost of purchasing and running each system .During this year long stydy ,wind power produced to cost just over $3.00 less per kwh produced .
Installation ---Solar power system need more space to install the solar array , but wind turbine can be vertically installed , need smaller space . This is very important for personal house where do not have enough space .
According to the above reasons , more and more people prefer to choose wind power system .But if your budget is enough , you also can choose a wind-solar hybrid system .This hybrid system will offer you reliable output electricity .
