Wind Vs Solar Energy: Is One Better Than the Other? That was a long time back. The interest in power has expanded essentially from that point forward. However, the inventory is still to a great extent subject to petroleum derivatives that are restricted, unpredictable, and harmful to the climate. Wind Power and Solar Energy Wind power or wind energy describes the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. Wind power or wind energy is mostly the use of wind turbines to generate electricity. Wind power is a popular, sustainable, renewable energy source that has a much smaller impact on the environment than burning fossil fuels. Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available, and the U.S. has some of the richest solar resources in the world. The sun provides more than enough energy to meet the whole world's energy needs, and unlike fossil fuels, it won't run out anytime soon. As a renewable energy source, the only limitation of solar power is our ability to turn it into electricity in an efficient and costeffective way. Difference between Solar Energy and Wind Energy
Wind Energy
Solar Energy
Have to be Installed in Large open areas
Can be Installed over ground, roof, or water bodies
Not suitable for urban areas
Can be installed in urban or rural areas
Has over 50% efficiency rate
It has an average efficiency rate of 20%
Will produce energy during the day, night, or cloudy weather
Will produce energy only when the sun is shining
Turbines produce noise while working
No noise is produced during energy production
Annual maintenance is required on the gearbox
The plant will hardly require maintenance
Installation cost is very high
Considerably cheaper than wind turbines
The Similarities - The first important similarity of wind energy and solar energy is that both of them are renewable. Solar energy is the most abundant energy resources that human can make use of. Another similarity is that both wind energy and solar energy cause almost no pollution to the environment. Compared to the environmental effects of traditional energy sources, the environmental effects of solar energy and wind energy are relatively minor. Conclusion – Solar energy is unquestionably more available than wind power. It permits private and business customers to create their electricity. Wind energy, then again, is more productive. In any case, because of its space necessity, it neglects to be a plausible asset for some buyers. About UsKSolare Energy was established in 2012 and is located in Pune.
