solar energy is the earliest source of energy known to mankind, and is also the origin of other forms of energy used by man. Other renewable sources of energy, such as, wind energy, hydro power, biomass and ocean energy are the indirect forms of solar energy. Solar energy has many salient features, which make it an attractive proposition. These features are wide-spread distribution, environment friendly and virtually inexhaustible supply.

Over the past couple of decades, we've seen an increasing demand for alternate forms of energy. This demand has led to the proliferation of wind farms across North America. It really is hard not to be optimistic about the potential benefits wind energy can provide. However, with the increasing cost of manufacturing and the lack of investment in technology we often find our progress stinted with less than expected results.

Many people see wind energy as the way of the future, but little fully understand how it will become part of our energy mix.

I've recently had the opportunity to collect some preliminary data regarding the efficiency of wind turbines. This data is being used to determine how Power Factor is related to wind turbines and how we can improve the amount of energy they generate. This data has shown us that wind turbines are actually quite inefficient. In fact, large scale turbines are producing only about 30-35% of the energy they are rated for at the best of times.
