We've just completed a home in Tijuana Sur, Campo Torres. The beach gets a bit of fog in the am and wind starts late morning. Plenty of wind, probably enough sun. Everything in the house is LED, gas hot water and cooking, wood stove & fireplace for heat, LG efficient fridge, LED TV, humidifier, my stereo probably uses the most juice.
We're looking to become a zero footprint house, if possible at a reasonable cost (minimum 2.5 year payback).
Considering wind, we generally have 5 hours of 8-12 knots a day avg. Sun, probably the same, 5-6 hrs of decent light.
Both or does only wind or solar make more sense. Is there a well founded article out there comparing? Most I've seen are more marketing materials, self serving.
Since we're in Mexico, I'd like to see if there is a battery manufacturer here...
