As for flat trees and things hurt the productivity of turbines and hence super awesome.
Rimworld wind turbine vs solar panel.
When i use either solar panels or wind turbines which is rare for me i prefer solar panels.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
Wind turbines on average produce more power than solar panels however they do it sporadically where as solar does it on a regular cycle.
In fact one wind turbine can generate the same amount of electricity per kwh as about 48 704 solar panels.
They also need lots of space so place solars in their exclusion zones.
Wind is a more efficient power source than solar.
Putting energy generation in context one wind turbine can generate the exact amount of electricity per hour as over 47 000 solar panels.
Compared to solar panels wind turbines release less co2 to the atmosphere consume less energy and produce more energy overall.
The wind will be weak when you most need it but they re excellent when buffered by a large battery bank.
The primary benefit of wind over solar power for your home is that wind turbines aren t dependent on sunlight.
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.
Both need batteries to ensure 24 7 power demands met.
This means that they have the ability to generate power 24 hours a day whereas solar panels only generate power during sunlight hours.
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.
A wind turbine produces a variable amount of power up to 3450w based on the current wind speed for wind conditions see weather.
In addition wind turbines consume less power and create more energy compared to solar panels.
Geothermals make a lot of power but are very expensive need research and can only go on steam vents.
Wind turbines make a hell of a lot of power but unpredictably.
Wind turbines can also generate power all around the clock.
This is because the power output for solar panels is much more consistent and matches the usage profile much better.
However a wind turbine has far higher ongoing maintenance costs than solar panels and typically only has a 5 year warranty.
As for ice sheet this part is unconfirmed however i believe it to be true from my many ice sheet play throughs.
Solar makes a bit less but you can place them infront of and behind wind turbines.
