The wind will be weak when you most need it but they re excellent when buffered by a large battery bank.
Do windmills worki with solar panels under them rimworld.
Solars do very poorly at high latitudes in the winter.
If you wish to build multiple watermills they will need to be spread out a bit making them slightly harder to defend than most other power generating systems.
Requires watermill generator research.
Just make sure you leave space so you can get to the wind turbine later when it breaks down.
Jul 2 2018 12 18pm also watch the overhead mountain areas if you re placing them in tight areas next to hills.
If the colony has no other backup power source it is highly recommended to keep some additional batteries behind a power switch on a separate network see hazards above so they can be brought online in the case of a short.

Solar panels supply 1700w during the day while turbines can supply up to 3000w max and will work both day and night.
They don t like fire.
They will spin equally well in any direction.
You can place solar panels graves turrets idk about modded ones sandbags and crops not trees.
A wind turbine produces a variable amount of power up to 3450w based on the current wind speed for wind conditions see weather it works day and night compared to a solar generator which only works during the day.
Wind turbines make a hell of a lot of power but unpredictably.
Power output does not depend on water tiles covered.

Solar generators may be protected by surrounding them with walls but they must stay unroofed to operate.

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.
There is no such thing as wind direction in this game so orientation of the turbines doesn t matter.
Jul 2 2018 10 39am yeah i knew about the solar panels.
An important thing to note is that neither solar panels nor crop fields block the turbines and so can be placed in their wind zones for compact.
Bridges do not interfere with power generation if built within the generator s exclusion zone.

Solar panels under wind turbines work great for saving space 3.
Wind turbines can also share restricted zones.
Solar panels produce no power during the night and during an eclipse and wind turbines are completely unreliable.
Just as long as the turbine itself is in the zone.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
They also don t make much power but they re reliable predictable and cheap.
