But, but... what if we put solar panels on the windmills? ;-)

Actually I double checked and solar-assisted windmills are a thing though not likely what's shown in the picture. Actually now I'm wondering if you could also use solar to concentrate a local heat differential and power a wind turbine (though liquid is probably more efficient)

That is inefficient, we should put windmills on solar panels.
