As for flat trees and things hurt the productivity of turbines and hence super awesome.
Rimworld wind turbine vs solar panel.
Wind turbines make a hell of a lot of power but unpredictably.
Wind turbines can also generate power all around the clock.
Wind is a more efficient power source than solar.
This means that they have the ability to generate power 24 hours a day whereas solar panels only generate power during sunlight hours.
This means that over the life of a wind turbine and solar system the actual cost per kwh with solar is less than half the lifetime cost per kwh of wind for small scale systems.
Geothermals make a lot of power but are very expensive need research and can only go on steam vents.
However a wind turbine has far higher ongoing maintenance costs than solar panels and typically only has a 5 year warranty.
Geothermal must be placed on geysers but works at full strength 24 7 unless a solar flare hits.
They also need lots of space so place solars in their exclusion zones.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
The primary benefit of wind over solar power for your home is that wind turbines aren t dependent on sunlight.
In fact one wind turbine can generate the same amount of electricity per kwh as about 48 704 solar panels.
Compared to solar panels wind turbines release less co2 to the atmosphere consume less energy and produce more energy overall.
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.
As for ice sheet this part is unconfirmed however i believe it to be true from my many ice sheet play throughs.
Wind has higher max output but is almost always changing on the other hand it is immune to eclipses.
Solar generators may be protected by surrounding them with walls but they must stay unroofed to operate.
This is because the power output for solar panels is much more consistent and matches the usage profile much better.
A wind turbine produces a variable amount of power up to 3450w based on the current wind speed for wind conditions see weather.
The wind will be weak when you most need it but they re excellent when buffered by a large battery bank.
Wind turbines on average produce more power than solar panels however they do it sporadically where as solar does it on a regular cycle.
It works day and night compared to a solar generator which only works during the day.
When i use either solar panels or wind turbines which is rare for me i prefer solar panels.
In addition wind turbines consume less power and create more energy compared to solar panels.
