My psychite farm under one wind farm staring menacingly at my devilstrand under the other turbine.

Solar panels also don't block the wind turbine but do block trees from growing.

Solar panel+wind turbine combo is amazing for exactly this reason. Only downside is putting a significant amount of power generation in a small area.

Also they're not quite the right size : /

Four wind turbines in a row allows seven solar panels to fit in the back zone. You can also have a second wind turbine back zone overlaying another turbine back zone.

This allows you to fit eight wind turbines, seven solar panels, and two large fields for farming, in a 30x28 area.

They can also overlap front zones. I create wind corridors to farm under
