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.
Do windmills worki with solar panels under them rimworld.
Wind turbines make a hell of a lot of power but unpredictably.
They also don t make much power but they re reliable predictable and cheap.
They will spin equally well in any direction.
Requires watermill generator research.
Just make sure you leave space so you can get to the wind turbine later when it breaks down.
They will spin equally well in any direction.
Solars do very poorly at high latitudes in the winter.

Just as long as the turbine itself is in the zone.
If there is still a little overhang in one of their zones.
There is no such thing as wind direction in this game so orientation of the turbines doesn t matter.
If the colony has no other backup power source it is highly recommended to keep some additional batteries behind a power switch on a separate network see hazards above so they can be brought online in the case of a short.
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.

The big downside to turbines is the large amount of clear ground they require.
Wind turbines can also share restricted zones.
Solar generators may be protected by surrounding them with walls but they must stay unroofed to operate.
There is no such thing as wind direction in this game so orientation of the turbines doesn t matter.
Solar panels produce no power during the night and during an eclipse and wind turbines are completely unreliable.
Bridges do not interfere with power generation if built within the generator s exclusion zone.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
You can place solar panels graves turrets idk about modded ones sandbags and crops not trees.
They don t like fire.
Solar panels supply 1700w during the day while turbines can supply up to 3000w max and will work both day and night.
Solar panels under wind turbines work great for saving space 3.
Jul 2 2018 10 39am yeah i knew about the solar panels.
If you wish to build multiple watermills they will need to be spread out a bit making them slightly harder to defend than most other power generating systems.
The wind will be weak when you most need it but they re excellent when buffered by a large battery bank.
Jul 2 2018 12 18pm also watch the overhead mountain areas if you re placing them in tight areas next to hills.
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.
