What are the differences between solar and wind energy?

What are the differences between solar and wind energy?

Solar energy harnesses sunlight using panels, while wind energy uses turbines to capture wind movement.

Which one is more efficient?

Efficiency can vary by location; solar is often more efficient in sunny areas, while wind is better in windy regions.

What are the costs associated with each?

Solar installation costs can be high upfront but lower over time, while wind energy can have significant initial costs for turbines.

Are there any environmental impacts?

Both have low emissions, but solar panels require mining for materials, and wind turbines can affect local wildlife.

Which one should I invest in for my home?

It depends on your location, budget, and energy needs. A site assessment can help determine the best option.
