Advantages common to both:
- No fuel cost.
- Low pollution and environmental impact.
- Can be installed in smaller capacities than traditional power plants.
Advantages of wind power: moderate to high net energy yield, high efficiency, moderate capital cost, low electricity cost, very low environmental impact, no CO2 emissions, quick construction, easily expanded, can be located at sea, land below/around turbines can be used for other purposes
Advantages of solar power:
Solar Cells: fairly high net energy yield, work on cloudy days, quick installation, easily expanded or moved, no CO2 emissions, low environmental impact, last 20-40 years, low land use, reduces dependence on fossil fuels

How is solar power and wind power different?
solar power uses the sun's light for energy and wind power uses the wind to turn the turbines in windmills to create energy.
Is wind power a type of solar energy?
No, Wind power is just a renewable energy. Solar energy only covers energy from the sun.
Give three more examples of renewable energy resources?
Renewable energy! Solar energy, wind power, hydro power and Geothermal power. Hope i helped:)
What generates more electricity wind or solar?
The amount of electricity generated by either wind or solar depends upon the investment in the generating equipment, which is either windmills or solar panels respectively. However, the potential for solar power is larger. Even in outer space, where it would not be possible to generate electricity by wind power (the solar wind is not nearly strong enough) you can generate solar power. Potentially, very large amounts of solar power could be generated in outer space and sent back to Earth in the form of microwave transmissions. But for now, more power is being generated by wind.
What are some new ways to make energy?
Wind power, solar panels, hydroelectric, etc.
What two advantages do solar power wind power and hydropower all have in common?
both use renewable resources
How are solar and wind power different?
solar power comes from the sun and is generated from solar pannals. wind power comes from the wind and is generated from wind mills.
What is the difference between solar power and wind power?
solar power gets energy from the sun using solar panelsbut wind power uses a wind turbine which catches the wind and spins to create energy/electricity
How are wind and solar power different from energy sources such as oil and gas?
Oil and gas are non-renewable and produce emissions when burned. Wind and solar power take energy from the wind or sunlight, and will always be available so long as the sun exists. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
How is solar power and wind power different?
solar power uses the sun's light for energy and wind power uses the wind to turn the turbines in windmills to create energy.

What are hydropower advantages and disadvantages?
IT is renewable.Aside from being renewable, the advantages of hydropower include:steadier, more consistent power.has 1,000 times more kinetic power than the wind.continuous production day and night regardless of the weather.smoother production of power than solar or wind power.higher power production than wind.
