Wind and solar power plants hybrid complement each other

Repost from Clean Technica | May 1, 2013

Solar and wind energy combine (hybrids) installation complement each other. Losses from shadows cast by wind turbine account for mere 1 to 2% loss.  It was previously thought that shadows cast by wind turbine account for losses. 

Solar and wind comlement each other:   solar works best in summer when there is much sunlight while wind works best in winter.  Solar works only at most 5 hours during the day when the sun shines;   wind can work when there is wind blowing even when the sun is not shining
