Solar wind is composed of a mixture of materials travelling between 250 and 750 km per second.

Radiation pressure involves electromagnetic field travelling at light speed.

If considering a sail in circular heliocentric orbit at 1 AU, what proportion of the thrust the sail can generate, is due to solar wind, and what proportion is due to radiation pressure?

Is it correct to state that solar radiation pressure is the sum of solar wind and radiation pressure? IsAre radiation pressure and photonic pressure the same?
