So i did some logical thinking about generators and found that the cheapest are actually the most efficient in both land use and cost. They only cost $500, are cheap and fast to upgrade. The next highest costs 15 times as much, and produces only 3 times the power, equally upgraded. The most expensive costs 90 times as much and produces only 9 times the power! As for space, it's close with the wind generators, one square versus four, but when you get to the solar array,really, 25 times the space for only 9 times the power???
The only aspect of the solar array that is more efficient is that it only takes 4 people to run.
So if you don't care about the 6 Piastres you get for completing the facilities achievement, don't bother building anything other than "wind-driven generator".
Oh, and do upgrade them. I notice a lot of people have many generators with no upgrades...WHY???

You can only have 5 of the wind-driven ones on your plot. So while your theory is nice, it only works to an extent. I do agree, though, the wind-driven generators are the most efficient.

Creamy Filling oh, hmm, i didn't know there was a limit...is there a limit on anything else? The second generator (the white one using 4 spaces/squares...dont remember name)... Max is also 5 in your plot (each island). The last generator... I think have not maximun... I have seen islands having 6-7 or even more of them.
