Wind theoretically could blow all the time, but the sun is definitely out at night and often during the days. Plus it's my understanding you only get about 5 hours of solar on good days, and unless you have tracking gear to follow the sun, even that isn't optimal every hour. This article also seems to be exclusively about 'home solar.' For a commercial system, the idea of cleaning the panels regularly does not sound trivial. Did anyone consider hail for solar? Hurricanes, falling trees?]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You’d think an article like this would actually provide some evidence that solar is more reliable than wind.

"Recent" seems an odd adjective to apply to data. It is totally predictable that solar will give you no output at night. Every night.
