Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Which is Better?
2
Technology Comparisons On average a turbine will produce 3 million KWh of Electricity per year Commercial Turbines cost 1-2 million dollars to make. Wind Turbines The earth will absorb 3, 850, 000 joules of energy from the sun per year. Commercial Solar Panels cost 10-20 thousand dollars to make. Solar Panels
3
Solar Panels use the heat from the suns rays to energize themselves The Sun produces lots of energy every year Solar Panels have no environmental issues
4
Solar Panel Pricing Commercially bought solar panels cost much more than home-made ones Solar Panels have a low dollar/watt ratio Solar Panels were part of the second generation of Green Energy
5
Wind Turbines Wind Energy will reduce air pollution by one third Wind Energy is really a form of Solar Energy One Turbine can supply power for roughly 200 homes
6
Wind Turbine Pricing A utility wind turbine will cost between 1.3 and 2.2 million dollars per MW capacity A residential micro-turbine would cost about $250 to cost and $100 to maintain A small turbine will cost about $2,000-$8,000 per kilowatt
7
Final Decision Solar Panels! I chose solar panels because they produce more electricity in a day than humans will ever need. Solar Panels cost much less to make than wind turbines and have a lower kw/dollar ratio.
