| Wind power is produced by converting blowing wind into electricity. Wind turbines use a rotor (blades), a power shaft and a generator to convert the wind's kinetic energy into electrical energy. Click here for more information about wind power. www.ece.umr.edu |
| Wind power is generated through the use of a turbine usually mounted on a tower. The turbine collects wind energy and converts it to electricity which is transferred to your house breaker panel, allowing you to rely on your existing utility power supply only as a backup. www.littlesunlighthomes.com |
| The energy extracted from wind to generate electricity, generally requires wind speed in excess of 16 kilometers per hour (10 miles per hour). www.bpa.gov |

| Solar power describes a number of methods of harnessing energy from the light of the sun. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power |
| Sunlight converted into energy that we can use, a natural renewable resource. woodmagic.forprod.vt.edu |
| Electricity produced by converting the sun's radiation into electricity. This can be done using photovoltaic systems (PV) or solar thermal systems. www.ece.umr.edu |
| Solar energy: energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy; "the amount of energy falling on the earth is given by the solar constant, but very little use has been made of solar energy" www.cogsci.princeton.edu |
