Solar power vs Wind power

In room 2 we have been comparing the positive and negative points of wind power and solar power as alternative power sources. We researched many questions that we had about each power source. We also interviewed Bob Lloyd a physics lecturer from the university and asked him a lot of our questions. After comparing all of our information we found that solar power is a better option for our area, it would not cost as much, need less to maintain, they are more energy efficient and has a longer warrantee. We investigated different solar power options for around the school, such as a solar sprinkler, a solar fountain, a scarecrow and solar lights for the path to the hall down the steps. Room 2 decided that the solar powered lights would be the best option. We have researched a range of solar lights from websites of local companies and selected 3 based that we felt would work. We would love your feedback on which one you think would be best for us to purchase from the options below.

OPTION 1: The Warehouse
OPTION 2: Mitre 10 Mega
 



OPTION 3: Mitre 10 Mega
 
 
TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE PLEASE MAKE A COMMENT AND SAY WHICH OPTION 1, 2 or 3 YOU LIKE BEST and WHY. Thank you from Room 2

  13. Hi Room 2!
    I like that you've done lots of research into alternative forms of electricity supply. I would be interested to know where you plan on putting the lights, as that would possibly change my answer! I like the look of option 2 for along a path/fence. However I like that option 3 can be turned on or off depending on when you needed it, rather that staying on until the batteries go flat.
    Keep up the great thinking!

    I think option 2 is the best because it has a 1 year warranty and is made of stainless steel.
