How exactly do wind and solar power companies make their money?

I only invest in small-cap energy based companies like oil, gas, petroleum, and more recently, wind and solar power.

What I would like to know is how exactly do wind and solar power companies make their money? Please, I’d like to understand the industry a bit better. Thanks!

    They sell electricity, you’d think?

    Your question is fairly general. Perhaps you would like to read these introductory articles and then post more specific questions:

Who am I ?

Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.

My story?
I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.

Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.

Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
