I was listening to someone on NPR yesterday and they were saying that Wind Power is much less efficient for small single home power generation than it is for large scale wind farms because of the friction involved in turning the turbine and getting it moving.
Another thing I didnt really think of when posting this was that solar can also be used to generate heat for home heating and hot water which I would think is more efficient than converting solar or wind energy to electricity then converting it to heat. Still has the limitation of only working when the sun is shining but may reduce the need for electricity and gain some efficiency.
