Answer: False

Explanation: Horizontal-axis wind turbine is the major part of wind industry. Horizontal axis have rotating axis of wind turbine in horizontal direction.Horizontal wind produces more electricity from a particular amount of wind that is provided and thus is preferred more.

vertical-axis wind turbines have the rotational axis of the turbine in vertical or perpendicular direction and have easy installation even where wind conditions are not predictable and is lighter in weight but are not able to produce the large amount of electricity as compared to horizontal-axis wind turbine.

Thus the statement given is false.
