Why don't they combine the solar and wind into a hybrid model? You know those windmills? Use solar photovoltic devices to capture solar energy while at the same time use the wind mills to capture wind power. The energy produced would be much more(effectively doubling (normal wind+normal solar)). Plus the fact that spinning fan reduces the heat and increases the efficiency.

Sounds like a win/win doesn't it?

>>5865355

you're an idiot

while smart people are working on ways to improve the efficiency of solar panels to a point where we can power the entire planet just by replacing 10% of the roofspace of our buildings with solar panel arrays, you're arguing for the "alarmclock radio" of renewable energy.

fan blades are a really, really dumb place to put fragile solar panels.
