That's because wind itself depends on the energy from the Sun. Without sunlight, there would be no wind.

What is the output of wind turbine generators compared to solar panels?

It is hard to compare the two as they create power in different ways. Which is more effiient will really depend on if you have more sun or wind at your location.


Do wind turbines depend on energy from the sun?

They get their energy from the wind not the sun.


Do wind turbines depend the sun?

Kinda-sorta. Wind turbines rely on the wind, but what powers the wind is the sun.


How does the blades on a wind turbine contribute to the energy change?

wind pushes on the blades of the wind turbine which pass on this motion to the generator to produce electricity. The energy and the speed of a wind turbine depend on the blade pitch control which depends on the angel of the blade chord to the plane of rotation. The blade pitch determines the speed of the turbine which also depends on the wind speed. Energy is directly proportional to the speed of the turbine. Therefore, the energy produced by a turbine depends on both the wind speed and the blade pitch angle. By: Amin Elsersawi

What makes a wind turbine move?

Wind makes the turbine move and the wind makes elctrecity.


How is wind created in a wind turbine?

wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)


How a wind power system produce electricity?

The wind turns a wind turbine. The turbine turns a generator.
