Why don't they combine wind & solar power by putting solar panels on wind mills?

I'm the kind of guy who passions to try different things. Presently I am manufacturing my personal solar panels. I am doing it all alone without the help of my staff. I'm utilizing the net as the only way to acheive this. I encountered a really awesome website that explains how to build pv panels and wind generators. The internet site explains all the steps needed for solar panel construction.
I am not exactly sure bout how precise the data given there iz. If some guys over here who have xp with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the thread it would be grand and I would highly appreciate it, cauze I really like [URL=http://apennootje.blogwogin.com/2009/11/10/solar-panel-construction-at-home]solar panel construction[/URL].
Tnx for reading this. U guys are the best. -

because they would be too wonderful.
everyone would just stare
and stare
and stare

(thx for stopping by e.c.t.a.2.a.m. by the way)

maybe it's some strange physics thing, like the wind moves in the opposite direction of the sun due to heat convection.
or something.

Uhh... yeah... a "strange physics thing"...
Because solar panels have to face UP, and wind turbines have to face horizontally!!

I have seen solar panels on the flat side of buildings before, so I'm not so sure if they have to be facing up, probably better if they do. But that's still OK because the blades of the turbines do face up at an angle to catch the wind, at least those newer ones that I have seen.

ok, fine... how's this...
Wind turbine blades = thin and light
Solar panels = wide and heavy

Yeah, that's a very good argument too Dave, but I have seen solar powered roof shingles that are the same size and thickness as roofing shingles, and said to be flexible and lightweight. I think that if they can make solar-powered roofing shingles they should be able to shingle wind turbines.

I'll try this one more time.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO PUT SOLAR PANELS ON A WINDMILL!!!

You're probably right, Dave. I guess it is just the German in me striving for ultimate efficiency.

damn, dave, let me say this definitively: you do not have a poet's soul.
there's no call to go getting all empirical about this stuff.
just think, man. shiny. spinning.
[checks watch.]
uh oh. it's past the time when I'm allowed to leave comments in other people's blogs b/c I get unpredictable. better go...

Hmm... sound more effitient than self-recording tapes.
