Solar/Wind Parity

• Do we consider Solar a Competitor?

No!

Solar/Wind Parity

• Do we consider Solar a Competitor?• Complementary Technologies• Solar Panel– 250W (on the surface of the sun)– 15-20% efficiency– Effective Output: 50W

• Wind Turbine– 300W (in a hurricane)– 40% efficiency (5-6 m/s)– Effective Output: 120W

Similar Rating, Twice the Output
