solar panels vs wind turbines
Today, global warming and the scarcity of fossil fuels are rarely out of the media. Some people are hoping that the government will reach some kind of solution, others do not really care and then some people wonder, "How can I help reduce global warming global? "
One of the most obvious answers to this question is to use less power moving its power from fossil fuels a renewable energy source. The two most hotly debated of renewable energy are solar and wind and in this article, will face the two against each of discovering that one is better.
There are many ways to harness the power of suns the most common of these a photovoltaic module is used to convert the suns ultra violet rays in the energy. This is the technology used in solar panels. Other Energy solar include the use of materials with different density layers of salt to capture the suns power and a super green house style device to heat the air to the turbines energy. In this article we will only consider solar panels.
Wind power.
Simply using wind to turn a turbine with a magnet in which electricity can be created. This works similarly to turbines powered by steam in a traditional power plant.
The costs
Although these two energy technologies may sound like a perfect solution to the energy crisis the world has its limitations. First is the cost at the time of writing the solar energy is cheaper than wind power when applied in small scale, as in a family home, but the energy wind is generally cheaper when implemented on a larger scale.
Efficiency
Efficiency is, of course, much of the decision in a renewable energy source. For this particular round of wind power compared to the solar home advantage will make a big difference. If you live near the Ecuador and experience of a large amount of sunlight the solar energy is the clear choice, should have no problem feeding your home from solar panels. Like wise the wind, if you live in a windy coast. The most beautiful question to one of this kind would be, what if the competition was held in a neutral zone with the wind and limited sunlight. In general, in an area more or less the same wind and sunlight I would say it would be better with solar energy power for the simple reason that any sunlight will be absorbed by the solar panels, but not all will be converted into wind energy from a wind farm this is due to the leaves in the wind now must turn in a certain speed, if the wind is fast or slow habit of electricity will be generated.
Appearance
In my opinion, for this round, can only be one winner and that solar power is suppose it's a matter of taste, but I think wind farms to be very ugly.
Conclusion
Well, it was tight contest with each energy source a good bet in the right environment, but solar energy in general is winner due to its lower cost in small installations superior adaptability to different environments and more pleasing aesthetics. That does not mean that energy Wind power is a bad choice as the right circumstance can be a much better solution than solar energy.
