Depends what type of wind turbines they are selling, dollar for dollar, you can produce nearly 5x more power compared to solar with this specific turbine, 5kw worth of generating capacity would cost $3500 in solar panels at wholesale costs[1].
This is one of the major reasons you see wind corridors like Eastern Washington & Oregon, or Texas being covered in wind turbines right now, which inevitably end up powering AWS Oregon & Google's massive datacenter in the Dalles and a few bitcoin mining operations with a ton of very cheap power.
