Solar Panels A solar panel (also solar module, photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel) is a packaged, connected assembly of photovoltaic cells. The solar panel can be used as a component of a larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in commercial and residential applications. |

Wind Farm A wind farm is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electric power. A large wind farm may consist of several hundred individual wind turbines, and cover an extended area of hundreds of square miles, but the land between the turbines may be used for agricultural or other purposes. A wind farm may also be located offshore. |

Advantages of Solar Energy Sun's energy potential is almost unlimited
Solar energy is environmentally friendly energy source
Solar panels operate very silently (unlike huge wind turbines)
Panels usually have a very respectable lifespan of at least 30 years |

Disadvantages of Wind Power Availability of wind (at some places winds are not powerful enough nor frequent enough to create enough electricity)
Wind power installation costs
Relatively difficult environmental integration
Huge wind turbines make noise pollution |

Disadvantages of Solar Energy Large scale solar energy projects (large solar power plants) would require large areas of land, and lot of water for cooling purposes
Many areas in the world do not have enough sunshine to make solar energy economically viable energy option
High initial costs of solar panels |

Conclusion Wind energy may indeed seem like the better renewable energy option given the tremendous growth in developing wind energy technologies in the last few years. But on the long run solar energy should become better option, primarily because future technological advancements should be able to take the full advantage of extreme abundance of Sun's energy. |
