And to double the trouble those same conditions shutdown a wind turbine.

Wind generally rises and falls with the sun.

Also, if wind speed rises above 55 mph wind turbines shutdown for self protection. If they don’t they will overspeed and fly apart.

So, both wind and solar are useless in bad weather or after sun set.
