Benchmarking of Wind with Solar Energy
 Published: September 2010, Total 182 pages, 97 figures and 61 tables

Wind and solar are clean renewable energy resources available in abundance across all the regions. The business of generating electricity from the wind and solar is growing and is poised for rapid expansion as U.S, China and rest of the world are looking for cleaner and more sustainable ways to generate electricity.

According to this report “Benchmarking of Wind with Solar Energy” - the global wind production capacity is expected to reach 430.6 GW, solar Photovoltaic 125.9 GW and solar thermal 20 GW by 2015 respectively. Despite of recent economic slowdown, energy demand is on rise in Asian and other developing economies due to high industrial growth and greater usage of industrial goods.

Although, cost of generating electricity, easy availability of abundant raw materials and capacity factors have always encouraged the growth of conventional energy but the environmental concerns, accelerating  fuel prices and emission regulations like Kyoto protocol have accelerated the growth of renewable energy across the globe. As far as the cost of generating electricity is concerned, wind is less costly compare to solar energy. Over the next 5 years, wind energy market is expected to reach $ 104 B, solar PV $88.5 B and solar thermal $24 B by 2015. Wind farms are profitable as compare to solar energy.
