Just make sure you leave space so you can get to the wind turbine later when it breaks down.
Rimworld solar panel blowing up.
Wind turbines can also share restricted zones.
Its a fault in the wiring that makes all stored up electricity concentrate on a single point and go boom.

It has much smaller space requirements than a wind turbine but provides no power at night or during an eclipse it can be placed in a wind turbine s exclusion zone with no effect on the turbine.
Both have pros and cons and it s better to use both and have lots of batteries.
Just as long as the turbine itself is in the zone.
A wind turbine produces a variable amount of power up to 3450w based on the current wind speed for wind conditions see weather it works day and night compared to a solar generator which only works during the day.
Solar generators may be protected by surrounding them with walls but they must stay unroofed to operate.
This drains all of the energy from the batteries connected to that circuit.
There is one way to prevent explosions have no batteries.
Double width walls provide more insulation against temperature changes and thus save power on heaters or coolers as well as offering better protection from attacks.
Solar panels pretty much can be counted on to give power every day and i think it gives more energy as well but eclipses and bad weather makes it a rather unsteady power source.
When you click the power menu click it again to see not see the power grid you should see all the blue lines connected properly and purple lines from the devices to the electrical conduits or power devices.
You can place solar panels graves turrets idk about modded ones sandbags and crops not trees.
2 faulty power grid missing an conduit somewere.
They will spin equally well in any direction.
More full batteries bigger boom and a lot of empty batteries.
Solar flares will cut the power so prepare a shelf with emergency wood to build campfires to keep the room temperature above 10c 14f below which most plants will rapidly die.
If they drain very fast under normal circumstances you probably have a not enough power producers.
The game checks if you have a battery.
Batteries are at their best alongside turbines and solar panels.
The batteries will never blow up in there unless your power sources get destroyed and you run out of energy during a heat wave.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
