Using wind to generate electricity
Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

What else do you need to generate electricity with solar panels
You need solar panels, inverters, racking equipment, and performance monitoring equipment to go solar. You also might want an energy storage system (aka solar battery), especially if you live in an area that doesn't have net metering.

Photovoltaic panels generate electricity in the north
Yes, you can install solar panels on a north-facing roof, but efficiency will be lower compared to south-facing panels. However, with tilted mounting systems, high-efficiency panels, and microinverters, homeowners can still generate 50-85% of the energy they would on an ideal.
