Abstract
The paper illustrates economical assessment of the grid-connected onshore micro wind turbines. The calculation is based on onshore wind speed hourly minimum value of 4 m height in Latvia approximated according to each wind turbine tower height. Economical assessment of the grid-connected solar cells is studied based on the real solar cells output data of Latvia. Results of performed study show that the use of solar cells 25 years for power generation in Latvia is profitable.
