Wind turbines for homes are better than solar power and here is why that is the case... Cheaper - Wind turbines are just cheaper than solar collectors. It is more a factor of simplicity of the device than anything else. You can get a wind turbine ready to set up and start making power for under $500. Also, you won't have to have the services of a professional installer like you do with a solar collector. While it is not impossible to do a solar collector by yourself, it is just a lot more complicated and is not nearly is simple to understand. Easier to grasp - As I just said, the wind turbine is intuitively more elegant. That means to me that it is just simpler to grasp the concept behind it and how it makes power. It is no more complicated than a toy that spins in the wind and makes energy. The only complication comes in when we are converting the energy that is created into electricity. You can do it yourself - Wind power can be implemented at the house by the average guy or girl. You do not have to have special tools or special equipment, or even a special knowledge-based available make this happen. Wind turbines for homes are available in all sizes and are very simple for the home do-it-yourself type of person. Wind is more ubiquitous - Solar power is very dependent on direct access to the sun in order to work. However wind is everywhere. Everybody has at least some wind. It often goes in tandem with solar power though, too. The great thing about all this is you don't really have to choose. Even if you understand that there are price advantages for wind, that does not mean that you have to give up on the sun. It is a good idea to take both into account as you're analyzing your renewable energy options and decide accordingly. Many people are opting for hybrid devices that combine the best of both worlds now. In conclusion, wind turbines for homes are better than solar power in a lot of ways, but you don't have to rule out solar even then. In the future, wind and solar devices will dominate the renewable energy landscape. There is just simply no reason to choose one or the other. As manufacturers lock onto this concept and really understand the power of supplying both solar and wind devices, all of this will change and we will all be using these things most likely.
