Wind and Sun Power Generation

Hybrid Wind and Solar Electric Systems | Department of Energy

In much of the United States, wind speeds are low in the summer when the sun shines brightest and longest. The wind is strong in the winter when less sunlight is available. Because the peak operating times for wind and solar systems occur at different times of the day and year, hybrid systems are more likely to produce power when you need it.

Wind Power Fundamentals

Table 2.2 Wind power classes measured at 50 m above ground according to NREL wind power density based classification. Wind speed corresponding to each class is the mean wind speed based on Rayleigh probability distribution of equivalent mean wind power density at 1500 m elevation above sea level. Data adopted from [11]. 4 Wind power capture:

Wind & Solar Homes – Wind & Sun

For most properties, which have the mains available, wind and/or solar systems can simply hook into the conventional electricity supply reducing power requirements. Power generated is first used within the property to reduce electricity consumption and any surplus is exported to the grid so greatest benefits can be found if electricity is used during times of generation.
