has it ever happened, that a solar panel factory was actually powered by a windpower installation?

great combo/use of real estate.

Why not power it with solar power seeing most work is done during daylight?  I've heard of building workers going off site because of excessive rain/snow, but would you want solar power workers heading home any time there is no wind?  

In Ireland solar power workers would go on strike in protest against excessive wind if it meant they hand to work too hard... runs... (ok, racist, classist, post colonial, bourgeois propaganda, but what the hell - we go home on a sunny day (to save the harvest) because the sun shines so rarely)

it's not a solar factory, but Deutsche WindGuard's wind tunnel is powered by an Enercon E-82 in the parking lot.  Here's a view from the rear, showing one of the two throats.
