We installed both solar panels and wind driven turbines at our child care center at the Johnson Space Center late last year. We're monitoring efficiencies and production. It's too early to tell if it's economical (need a couple years).

Personally, I think solar is great - in space. I would think that - the space station is 100% solar. On earth - we're guesstimating ~ 15 year payback.
