What is the best source for green energy for homes?

Solar energy is arguably the most recognizable source of energy for home use. Solar panels have been on roofs in some areas of the country for decades. And while it is an effective source of renewable energy for many people it isn't their best option. The reasons for that are:
1. Not every part of the country gets a lot of sunny weather and therefore there will be many days when you aren't generating electricity.
2. Solar panels won't work at night and no matter how sunny Your climate there will be a big part of the day, every day, when you aren't producing electricity.
3. On average one wind turbine will generate about the same amount of electricity as solar panels. And can work day or night as long as there is wind. Of course wind energy has it's issues too such as the fact that it needs a fairly big open space. Though if you mount your turbine on your roof you can overcome that to a large degree.
