Just make sure you leave space so you can get to the wind turbine later when it breaks down.
Do windmills worki with solar panels under them rimworld.
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.
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.
Power output does not depend on water tiles covered.
Wind turbines make a hell of a lot of power but unpredictably.
The wind will be weak when you most need it but they re excellent when buffered by a large battery bank.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
Requires watermill generator research.
Solars do very poorly at high latitudes in the winter.
Jul 2 2018 10 39am yeah i knew about the solar panels.
The big downside to turbines is the large amount of clear ground they require.
They also don t make much power but they re reliable predictable and cheap.
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.
You can place solar panels graves turrets idk about modded ones sandbags and crops not trees.
They don t like fire.
Solar panels produce no power during the night and during an eclipse and wind turbines are completely unreliable.
Solar panels under wind turbines work great for saving space 3.

Bridges do not interfere with power generation if built within the generator s exclusion zone.
They will spin equally well in any direction.
Solar panels supply 1700w during the day while turbines can supply up to 3000w max and will work both day and night.
They will spin equally well in any direction.
There is no such thing as wind direction in this game so orientation of the turbines doesn t matter.
If there is still a little overhang in one of their zones.
Solar generators may be protected by surrounding them with walls but they must stay unroofed to operate.
Just as long as the turbine itself is in the zone.
There is no such thing as wind direction in this game so orientation of the turbines doesn t matter.
Wind turbines can also share restricted zones.
Jul 2 2018 12 18pm also watch the overhead mountain areas if you re placing them in tight areas next to hills.
