Question

Why might a farmer choose to install wind turbines rather than solar panels?

Answer 1

C. Wind turbines are more reliable then solar cells.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D, Wind turbine allows agricultural use of land

Explanation:

Solar energy can be harnessed much more effectively as compared to wind energy but the amount of land required to install solar panels is much higher as compared to that of wind turbine. Nearly 6 acre of land is required to produce 1 megawatt of solar energy. Hence no land/very less land will be available for agriculture if the farmer installs solar panels in his farm.  

Thus, option D is correct as wind farm allows utilization of agricultural land.
